This is my current favorite recipe. I add tarragon (fresh or dried) in the end while I’m adding chives. If it turned out bland for you, you did something wrong because this sauce is the opposite of bland. Follow the recipe!! You should prep everything before you start cooking, even pre measuring the quantities of everything you need. And if your rue flops, take a small scoop of cornstarch, dissolve it in a small amount of water and add the mixture to the sauce while it’s cooking. This works to thicken anything in a pinch!! Arrowroot will do the same. I would not recommend this for beginner cooks, you have to have a good sense of timing for this recipe to turn out and it is VERY involved! But if you are a beginner and want to try it out, remember to prep literally everything and have it within arms reach before you start cooking. And liking or not liking white wine is not important, you don’t taste the wine as if you were drinking it from a glass, it just adds an extra wonderful element to the sauce. I am obsessed with this recipe!! It’s so good and everyone I’ve made it for agrees! And if you want to make it vegetarian I’d imagine portobello mushrooms would be delicious!! And obviously swap out the chicken broth for veggie :)
My husband who is a picky eater loiked it! It's a repeat in our house....
The only thing my husband changed was that he put the chicken in oven for a little bit just to ensure it was cooked thoroughly through and we then put the sauce on when we ready to eat! It was great we bothed loved it!
I pretty much added everything to taste. I used a Sav Blanc that has some acidic qualities and ended up adding more because it makes a delicious sauce. (Also did a little extra mustard and sour cream) I also added some pepper and sage. I accidentally used regular chicken broth but only used 1 can. I think it would have been better with the low sodium but I can't imagine you need more than 1 can. You get so much sauce. I have never really prepared chicken like that before but I thought it had the perfect amount of flour. Mind you I just powdered the surface of the chicken and didn't smother it. I put it with yellow rice and broccoli. I have food for days now. Huge serving. Felt healthy and felt full. Next time if I get the low sodium and continue with my minor tweaks I think it will be perfect. Im also going to try mushrooms next time because I think it would be really good with mushrooms. I really enjoyed this! I also have a lot of extra sauce so I think Ill put it over some pasta.
Loved this recipe! I wouldn't cover the cutlets after cooking while making the sauce they tend to get soggy and we prefer a crispy cutlet vs soggy/mushy. paired with roasted potatoes and a salad. YUM
I may make it again but not too sure how I feel about it. It was okay. I couldn't buy dry white wine so I used white cooking wine (not too sure if that lessens the quality of how the dish tasted). The store didn't have shallots at the moment so I used onion instead - which shouldn't have been an issue because I love onion. The first bite took a little bit of getting used to the taste but after that it was better.
Great recipe. The sauce was great and full of flavor.
Just not good. I did NOT like the mustard-wine combo. I too found it bland and floury. I make chicken often and am always trying to find ways to mix it up so my hubby doesn't get "chickened-out." You can find better chicken recipes out there.
Taste like an expensive dinner out. Rich lots of flavor
So good! We used an unoaked chardonnay and followed recipe exactly. Paired with garlic crusted asparagus. I have a hard time eating chicken because it's bland to me but this could turn any chicken in to a juicy mouth watering dinner. Bet it would be good on steak as well. Can't wait to make it again.
Excellent Chicken dish that I will make again. I cut the sauce down for 1 piece of chicken and it was perfect. I used Roscato Wine. I'd be curious to know some other white wines that are good for cooking and if it's a sweet or dry wine.
Good Basic Recipe Made this with the exception of using red onion in place of shallots and Greek yogurt. Sauce was very soupy and a little bland for my taste but my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it regardless. I think next time I'll add some garlic more pepper and cut down on some of the liquids. Also will remove the chicken breasts prior to stirring in the yogurt and mustard. I will definitely make this again with those few tweaks. Pros: Easy to modify great base recipe Cons: Bland
Great easy healthy and delicious I have made this dish many times. I reduce the broth and wine a bit to make it more creamy. I also remove the chicken prior to adding the sour cream then add it back in. Works very well with roasted broccoli just pour the additional sauce on the florets!
I like this as I can make it vegan. I used less salt and added more garlic. Yes the wine can be reduced that intensifies the flavor and helps thicken. Are you using chix stox not water to mix your thickening agent? You can tweek the seasoning to suit your taste. I do like simple. So did my children! Thanx for sharing!raf
Terrible! Bland dish with terribly thick sauce. Our entire family disliked this recipe as it was tasteless and the chicken was ruined by the thick sauce. Pros: nothing good about this recipe Cons: Would not make again!
Deliciously healthy For those who think the sauce is too thin - just boil the wine and broth mixture for a few minutes before adding the chicken back...it will reduce and become even better (don't skip adding the flour with the shallots - in fact make it a heaping tablespoon) Pros: Easy healthy yummy Cons: None really
Can I use red wine instead of white wine?? I really want to try this one.. Reply please.
This is so yummy it is hard to believe it is low calorie This is a very tasty chicken dish. I can't believe how low the calories are. It just tastes so rich. I would make this for company. Pros: healthy but very tasty Cons: A little more prep than I like
pretty tasty This chicken was pretty tasty. Gives you the comfort food feel without the comfort food calories. Definitely a keeper. Next time I will add some additional pepper. Pros: easy meal Cons: needs additional seasoning.
Was great. Omitted the wine and used a little extra broth. My kids had a second helping. Yummy!
Not creamy at all I followed this recipe and did not get the creamy sauce that was promised. Mine is very liquidy. It's sitting on the stove right now while I decide what to do with it. I'm very disappointed as I can't remember the last time a recipe I followed went so badly. I will not be making this again. Pros: Nothing Cons: 90 percent of this recipe
This is one of my favorite dinners. It's a bit of a pain to make but so good. I buy chicken cutlets which are already sliced thin to skip the pounding step. Pros: DELISH!!! Cons: NULL
Absolutely Delicious A great recipe that is fairly quick uses only one pan and healthy too. This is an east yet rich tasting dish that I would definitely serve to company!
Tastes like comfort food! DELICIOUS! I followed the recipe exactly except I took the chicken out of the pan when I added the cream and then added the chicken back in. Also I used Greek yogurt in place of sour cream because it adds more protein is a much healthier option has the same flavor and texture and is what I had in the fridge. I will DEFINITELY add this as a dinner staple. Pros: Easy delicious good leftovers
Amazing Meal! I decided to make these on a whim and I'm really glad I did! Since I'm not a cook in the slightest it took me way longer than 35 minutes (closer to an 1 hr ); it took me longer because I'm new to cooking and my pieces of chicken were THICK (I didn't tenderize them). However it was well worth the effort. I wouldn't consider this cheap but it wasn't breaking the bank either so it's doable on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. I did make adjustments according to what I already had so I didn't buy every single thing on the ingredients list. Instead of shallots I used 1/2 a large onion (diced) and 1 clove of garlic (minced) and I omitted the wine. I also used green onions instead of chives (but next time I'll try chives) and I ended up using a bit more olive oil and salt. It was GREAT. Whether you're a skilled cook or new to cooking I think this recipe is worth a good try (whether you follow this recipe to a T or you modify it). It can easily feed four (maybe five!) people and the sauce can be used with mashed potatoes and corn too. This is definitely one meal I will try and try again because it just ROCKED. Make this meal!!! Pros: reasonably priced delicious easy Cons: time consuming
What to substitute for wine? Help! I have yet to make this meal but I read every single review and it seems to be amazing (to a t or with modifications). However I'm not a fan of wine in the slightest and I've noticed people swap it out for chicken stock. So would I add the chicken stock AND chicken broth together? I'm new to cooking and I really don't want to mess up something that seems delicious. Any help would be great! -- Allison
Love it. And so did the kids This was popular with everyone in the family. My daughter had fun helping me cook it and my son actually ate it all which is saying something because he is a picky eater. Even my 16 month old polished this off. I served this with a simple leafy salad as it is summer at the moment. But thumbs up from here. Pros: Tasty Cons: Too much sauce.
Sauce is Divine! I bought the thin sliced chicken cutlets to save time. This recipe makes a ton of heavenly sauce. I served this with mashed potatoes but it would be great with crusty bread rice or noodles. Fantastic weeknight meal. Pros: quick easy yummy
Tasty! Made this for dinner today as my hubby and I are trying to eat healthier and in our culture dishes are tasty but not very healthy. I used 1 chicken breast for the 2 of us as it was very big so adjusted ingredients accordingly. I didn't use salt as my chicken stock already contains salt i used natural yoghurt and cream (to tone down the tanginess) as I didn't have sour cream and dried parsley flakes as i don't have chives. I served it with mashed potatoes and a leaf salad containing sweetcorn with a caesar salad dressing. It was very tasty quick to make and i'll be making it again but hopefully with the sour cream! Thank you! Pros: Quick to prepare
Keeper Fast Delicious. Added capers and served over noodles (probably should have served over steamed vegetables though). This one is a keeper.
Delicious (: The chicken? Fantastic! I ate one piping hot. It smelt amazing and I couldn't wait.
Really liked this recipe. Hubby doesn't like chives so I just sprinkled some on mine. Since it is just the two of us I diced the leftover chicken. I combined the leftover chicken and sauce with hot cooked pasta (or noodles) to make another meal.
Everyone ages 1-34 loved! I made this tonight and loved loved loved it! It took me a little longer to make than it likely will in the future because I was double-checking the recipe every ten seconds but even at that is was quick. I made the extra effort to have cooking white wine on hand and it was well worth it. My 18 month old 4 year old and 6 year old all loved it as well. Highly recommend!! Pros: kid friendly easy low-cost
very tasty!!! Will definitely make again. All of my family enjoyed it. Maybe not as much salt next time (was a little bit too salty).
very good!! I agree with a little less mustard b/c it goes a long way. Served with rice pilaf the sauce with the rice was great.
Amazing! I have made this recipe exactly as it appears and it is delicious--another time I didn't have the wine on hand so I used 2 oz. of gin to deglaze the pan (after sauteeing the shallots) and upped the amount of chicken broth a bit--so great!
Loved it I love the recipe it was bursting with flavor... was unable to find any shallots but i used green onions... i omitted the the wine and added mushrooms and garlic to sauce just because i love them both and I ate the dish with mash potato... nice and filling but not heavy
Wow yummy This sauce was soooooooo good. I usually eat half a chicken breast but with this sauce I couldn't help but eat a whole breast to myself - with no shame! The only two things I omitted were the dry wine (because I'm underage ha) and the chives because I didn't have any. I also used green onions instead of shallots but it was still delicious. I paired this with cauliflower mash and green beans and they really went well with the chicken and helped keep the overall meal a light and healthy one.
Bursting with FLAVOR! This was one of the first EatingWell recipes I tried and I am a die hard fan of it. First of all I love chives so that had me sold instantly. The first time I made this recipe I did not have white wine on hand but some Marsala wine which I used instead. It changed the flavor a bit but still came out tasting great! I prefer the sauce to be a little thicker so I generally add a little more sour cream and less broth and I have used onions in place of the shallots and the flavor is the same. Overall this is a light dish but I love to have it with mashed potatoes and drench them in sauce!! It's definitely worth your time!:)
Definately a keeper. Sauce tasted amazing. Great for a regular week night or for company. If I were serving it to company would want to thicken the sauce up a bit by adding a little less broth or increasing the amount of flour or sour cream.
Whole family enjoyed! I was tired of cooking two ways for my family.........diet for me and regular for my family. This recipes was like by all and no one knew it was low calorie! Pros: Easy & flavorful
Substitution question Has anyone tried substituting greek yogurt for sour cream? Not a big fan of the latter. I always use this substitution in eatingwell recipes and it tastes great but just wondering if anyone had any feedback!
Tried this last night. Was so good I had to share it with Facebook!
Very good would make for dinner guests! Loved this recipe tastes high calorie would serve to guests! Relatively easy to prep and the sauce is drinkable! Used onions instead of shallots and was still great! Loved all the helpful reviews! Tastes like something I would eat out @ a restaurant!!! Pros: Relatively easy tasty Cons: none really
very yummy! i will make this again but cut the shallots in half. it was delicious! Pros: fairly quick and easy Cons: hubby thought too shallot-y
