Chicken Moscato with Garlic and Herbs

November 11, 2013 by Maureen 83 Comments

Chicken Moscato with Garlic and Herbs

Have you ever cooked with moscato wine?  I hadn’t before but this chicken moscato with garlic and herbs ended with both John and his dad putting their hands up to claim the leftovers.

We had some friends stop by the other day and they brought a bottle of moscato wine with them.  It’s all my friend Joan will drink so she brings her own – just in case folks aren’t prepared.  Do you bring your own wine if you’re just stopping by for a quick visit?  I’ll admit that unless I’m headed for a meal or drinks, I don’t.

The bottle was nearly full when they left and no amount of coaxing convinced them to take the bottle with them.  What to do?  I could drink it or I could cook with it.

Surprised that I chose to cook with it?  I’m not a big drinker.  I like to drink but I don’t like the feeling of being drunk.  Add to the mix that it takes next to nothing to make me giggle.  If I’d consumed the rest of that bottle, I’d have been dancing on the table and frankly that’s not a pretty sight.

Chicken Moscato with Garlic and Herbs

I had some chicken breasts in the fridge that really needed to be cooked and and I had this nearly full bottle of wine.  It was a start.

First I sliced a bunch of mushrooms and then cut the chicken into chunks.  I dredged the chicken in the flour mixture and browned it in the skillet.  When it was finished, I put it in a clean bowl and in the same pan cooked the onion and garlic in low heat until translucent then added the mushrooms.  Next came the wine and the cream and cooked til thickened then added the herbs and chicken.  Easy, easy to make and it was delicious.

We enjoyed it over rice but it would be equally good over pasta.

This is a brilliant weeknight meal that takes next to no time at all to make. The sauce is amazing.
