A visit to Napa Valley wine country inspired me to experiment with one of my mom's scrumptious chicken dishes. This elegant entree is so easy to prepare.Jill Bonanno, Loma Linda, California Ingredients:
4 bacon strips, diced |
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
3/4 cup sliced green onions |
1 large carrot, thinly sliced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
3/4 cup white wine or additional chicken broth |
1 bay leaf |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain and discard drippings. In the same skillet, brown chicken on both sides in 2 tablespoons butter. Remove and keep warm.
