Chicken Medallions in White Wine Reduction, This was originally a recipe for Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction that I converted for my daughter who didn’t like beef at the time
I serve it with Rissoto and Grilled Asparagus and Carrots
It is a nice easy dinner for 2 on a work night when you don’t have a lot
of time or energy, but can be multiplied for dinner parties when you
want the compliments also without expending a lot of time or energy ”, Incredibly tasty and very easy to make! I pounded my breasts flat (just a personal preference) and did everything on the stove top to save on dishes and to make this even easier to make I just let the chicken simmer on the stove top while getting my wild rice pilaf started and then thickened the wonderful sauce with corn starch mixed with water to serve over our rice Thank you for sharing!!, This dinner was simply amazing, I served it to my guests for Sunday dinner (along with recipe #328302) I would honestly love to rate this higher, it is a restaurant-quality dish This is a lot easier than it looks The only thing I did different was to sub marjoram for the tarragon I will be using this often, as it was a huge hit all around the table! Made for Spring PAC 2009
