Chicken in White Wine Sauce with Grapes and Rosemary
When the first grapes on grapevines turn red or blue, this is the first recipe I think of: a beautiful, juicy, and tender chicken in white wine sauce with grapes and fresh rosemary. Served with creamy polenta or mashed potatoes, this dish is a dream come true for every foodie who loves interesting flavor combinations!
Ingredients
- 1,2 kg chicken drumsticks and thigh
- sea salt
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 250 ml chicken stock (hot)
- 100 ml semi-sweet white wine
- 2 shallots
- 3-4 sprigs rosemary (fresh, if possible)
- 200 g seedless grapes
- 120 ml cooking cream
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, ground pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- In a pan with a thicker bottom heat the olive oil, then add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-8 minutes, until the skin becomes crispy and deep golden.
- Then pour hot chicken stock into the pan, add white wine, half the grapes, rosemary sprigs, and thinly sliced shallots. Cover with the lid and cook on medium heat for about 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the chicken.
- When the chicken became soft and tender, take it out and put it in a bowl, and cover it so it stays warm while you finish the sauce. Pour the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and return back to the pan.
- Turn up the heat and cook until the sauce gets reduced by half. Toward the end of the cooking add the rest of the grapes and cooking cream. Stir, try if you need more salt or pepper, and return the chicken back to the pan to combine with the sauce.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, creamy polenta, or any other side dish of your choice.
