Chicken Vino Bianco

Lovies!!!!  So long...so much to tell.  But instead of boring you tonight, I'm going to share that Chicken Vino Bianco recipe that I made.  Dare I say it was better than Olive Garden???!?!?  No, I won't run tail out with it, but it was GOOD!!!!  Here it goes:

 My plating was a bit subpar, but it was delicious just the same.  

 A closer look.  I don't have a concise recipe like usual, but I am more than willing to share the instructions. Boil some whole grain linguine to a bit shy of al dente and set aside. I took two chicken cutlets and seasoned them with salt and pepper.  I then coated them with flour and sauteed them in a couple shakes of olive oil until golden brown.  I removed them and added to the remaining oil mushrooms, tomatoes, purple onions, and garlic.  I didn't give specific amounts because this is up to your taste.  If you like mushrooms, add as many as you'd like.  If you're an onion person, add them until your hearts content.  After they soften up a bit, add a cup of white wine and the juice of half a lemon.  Personally, I added the juice of a whole lemon but we know I have an acid addiction.  Next, add a handful of fresh chopped parsley and check your sauce for salt and pepper. Let the wine cook out and reduce.  Add the chicken back into the skillet to allow it to finish cooking and the flour from the chicken will naturally thicken the sauce up some.  Once it has reduced, add a couple pats of unsalted butter to thicken the sauce more and help it coat the pasta.  What pasta you ask?  That whole grain linguine you set aside.  Add it to the sauce and allow them to marry for a couple of minutes.  Plate the pasta, top with the chicken and veggies and you're eating kid!

 Yea, it was good, lol

 I tried a variation with shrimp...shrimp vino bianco...I broke every food rule and sprinkled it with some grated parm...I'm sorry food Gods, lol

I promise that I won't stay away like that again.  I also give my word that once I process through everything and get a little stronger to share what has kept me from my baby.  I missed sharing my milestones, successes and failures with you guys.  Here's staying being strong and staying true to you.  Love yourself everlastingly lovies!

I did want to add a note…if you aren't a drinker, like myself, you may find that cup of wine a bit overwhelming…you can cut it with chicken broth…I find that using half wine half broth is the perfect balance for me
