A champagne sauce makes this chicken elegant and flavorful. Serve the chicken with potatoes or rice for a great weekend meal.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup champagne, or dry white wine
  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves
  • salt and pepper, to taste

SAUCE: Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup champagne, or white wine
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

In a heatproof casserole, make a bed of carrot, onion, and mushrooms. Add butter cut into thin slices and add 1 cup of champagne or wine.

Place chicken breasts on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, cover the casserole, and bake chicken 325° F., basting frequently with the liquid for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken to a platter and keep warm. Cook the juices, uncovered, over medium-high heat until reduced by half.

Stir in heavy cream and 1/4 cup of champagne or wine; strain the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and about 1 teaspoon of finely chopped parsley. Pour sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish the platter
