Chicken in white wine










Wine is wonderful in adding depth to a meat or fish dish. It can be used for marination; as a cooking liquid and as a flavouring in a finished dish. Cook only with a wine you would drink. Alcohol in the wine evaporates while cooking, and only the flavour remains.
White wine suggestion for this recipe : Sauvignon blanc.

Chicken breasts - 1/2 kg
Spring onions - 1 bunch
Tomato - 4 small
Rosemary (dry leaves) - 1/2 Tbsp
Bay leaf - 2 or 3
Olive oil - 1 Tbsp
White wine - 4 Tbps
Salt

Slice chicken into cubes. Chop spring onions into lengths of 1.5 inch.
Heat oil in a pan and add spring onions.
Add sliced tomatoes and chicken pieces.
Add white wine and stir well.
Sprinkle dry rosemary and bay leaves. Add salt to taste.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium flame, until the meat is tender.
