Tender Chicken Breasts In White Wine Sauce

Dinner is ready in around 30 minutes with our tender chicken breasts in white wine sauce served with crispy garlic bread or cooked rice.

The outcome is flavorful and tender chicken breasts, slowly simmered in a savory garlic and white wine sauce. The key lies in the blend of herbs and the inclusion of whole pickling onions, of which you will need about 15 to 20.

As I mentioned before, the whole dish takes only 30 minutes to cook and it is one of my husband’s favorite dinners. The chicken breasts in a flavorsome white wine sauce are a light and wholesome meal because I don’t use any cream. Rather, I prepare it with olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and an abundance of pickling onions.

You can serve this rustic chicken dish with garlic bread which is our favorite side dish or with aromatic rice.

I will include the recipe for my simple garlic bread in the recipe card. Here is also a very short instruction video to watch.

When you prepare fresh chicken breasts, it is important to cut the surface of the chicken breast crosswise. Then season it with salt and pepper, and finally dust the chicken with all-purpose flour.

The flour will help to thicken the sauce later on.

Peel and crush a couple of garlic cloves and chop a bunch of fresh parsley. You will also need either fresh or dried thyme.

For the white wine sauce, I have used a Sauvignon Blanc which I also serve later to go with our beautiful tasty chicken breasts and garlic bread on the side.

The chicken breasts are pan-fried first in olive oil until golden brown. Once you turn the chicken breast, you can add the herbs, onion, garlic, and of course, the white wine.

Put the lid on and let it simmer for 30 minutes. All done!

Ingredients For The Chicken Breasts In White Wine Sauce Recipe

Our beautiful chicken breast dish consists of only a few simple ingredients. The simpler the dish, the better the quality of the ingredients needs to be in my opinion.

Chicken Breasts: Please get the freshest and best quality chicken breasts possible (if you can afford them). I prefer organic meat because it has usually more flavor and a better texture.

Olive Oil: I am using extra virgin olive oil and plenty of it. But you can use less – it is up to you. You don’t need to get the most expensive one but a good quality one would be great.

Herbs: Feel free to use an abundance of fresh parsley and thyme. Fresh is best but you can substitute with dried herbs.

Onions and garlic: Again, I recommend getting fresh garlic and small (pickling) onions maybe from your local Farmer’s Market. If you are not too keen on lots of onions, simply use only a few.

White Wine: The white wine sauce is essentially the highlight of the dish, so it’s important to choose a good-quality wine. I recommend using Sauvignon Blanc, which also pairs well with this dish, whether you serve it for dinner or lunch.
