Chicken Veronique is an elegant and delicious dish that combines tender chicken breasts with a creamy sauce and sweet grapes. This recipe takes less than an hour to prepare and is perfect for a special dinner or entertaining guests. The chicken is cooked until golden brown, then finished off with a rich and creamy sauce made with white wine, chicken broth, and grapes. Serve it with a side of rice or roasted potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the grapes and cook for 2 minutes, until they start to soften. Remove the grapes from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 2 minutes, until the wine has reduced slightly.
  5. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, until the broth has reduced by half.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken breasts and grapes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.
  8. Serve the Chicken Veronique hot with your choice of sides.
  9. Enjoy!
