This mouthwatering red wine chicken recipe is perfect for a fancy dinner at home. The chicken is marinated in rich red wine, garlic, and herbs, then cooked to perfection in a flavorful sauce. Serve it with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the red wine, garlic, and herbs. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the skillet. Cook until browned on both sides.
  4. Pour in the marinade, chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top, garnished with fresh herbs.
