Chicken Capiello
By Yankee Magazine|Sep 17 2008|
A most unusual blend of flavors, and the chunks of plump, tender chicken combined with sweet, crisp, sliced onion create a delightful contrast in texture. An added bonus to this piquant dish is that it’s ready in a matter of minutes! Bee and Thistle Inn, Old Lyme, Connecticut
Yield
Serves 4.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts (8 ounces each), boned and skinned
Butter to coat bottom of a large sauté pan (about 2 tablespoons)
1 large Spanish onion, sliced
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup dry white cooking wine
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cut chicken breasts into chunks. Sauté in butter until flesh of chicken has turned white. Add onions and toss while cooking. Add garlic and cook approximately 2 minutes more (until the aroma is apparent). Add mustard and white wine and blend together. Turn heat down and gently simmer for 5 minutes. Toss in Parmesan cheese and serve over rice pilaf.
I doubled it, added chopped mushrooms, and put it over wild rice. Very good, sort of comfort-foody.
