White Wine Tomato Chicken

White Wine Tomato Chicken

There are so many things I love about this recipe. When it comes to an easy chicken dinner, this one is the winner – White Wine Tomato Chicken. Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ah, wine. I get so much pleasure out of cooking with wine. Typically you want to cook with crisp, higher acidity white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc. I had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc so I used that for this recipe.

As always, I try to use pasture raised chicken and organic veggies when possible. Nutritionally, a pasture raised chicken is far superior to traditionally raised chicken. Research has shown that pasture-raised chickens have higher levels of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene than conventionally raised chickens. Buy farm-fresh Pasture Raised Chicken from local family farms. I got our chicken from KDE Farm.

It can be tough to cook healthy meals for your family during the week. However, you can make delicious and healthy meals in under 30 minutes with ingredients you’ve got in your pantry and fridge. This one skillet White Wine Tomato Chicken is wholesome, nutritious and easy to put together after a long day of work.

Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms

Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms

These Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms are the perfect hearty appetizer for your next party!

Mushrooms are great for you and they are full of vitamins. I love them and I cook with mushrooms a lot. They’re very versatile and are perfect for stuffing. Portobello Mushrooms are one of the most commonly consumed mushrooms in the world and are a source of B vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and copper. Read more about the health benefits of mushrooms.

Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms

Should I wash mushrooms to clean? Do no rinse mushrooms caps or stems with water! Mushrooms are like sponges and will absorb liquid quickly. Instead, just use a damp paper towel to remove excess dirt.

As always, I try to use pasture raised chicken and organic veggies when possible. A pasture raised chicken is a bird raised in a natural environment, allowed to roam freely, and fed on a varied diet. Chickens raised on a pasture have access to fresh air, sunshine, and open fields. Research has shown that pasture-raised chickens have higher levels of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and beta-carotene than conventionally raised chickens.

Chicken Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer tastes best served hot and will disappear as soon as it hits the table.

Bruschetta

In Italy, bruschetta means a thick piece of bread that is grilled, then rubbed with garlic, and topped with olive oil and salt. It is then topped with a variety of toppings from tomatoes, vegetables, meat, or cheeses. In the United States, bruschetta has come to be known as the appetizer of pieces of bread topped with a tomato and basil mixture, not the bread itself, as it is in Italy. This easy recipe is the Americanized version of what bruschetta means in Italy.
