Chicken in Creamy Basil Wine Sauce

Holy cold front, batman!! Did y’all survive the wintry weather over the weekend?

Chicken Creamy Basil Wine Sauce

I am not a fan of the cold. Not even a little bit, so when it is windy and cold and damp…I only go outside if I absolutely must. And take my baby out in it? Not a chance.

I mean, let’s face it…if the cold gets into my bones, I can only imagine what it would do to my baby. Newp, newp, newp!

I prefer to stay holed up inside, while J builds us nice fires, and we can just hang out and play. And be warm. Did I mention that already?

I’m not a big wine drinker, but I do like to cook with it and when I saw this recipe, it reminded me of the white wine and thyme cream sauce I made a long time ago – that was absolutely delicious. And J loved it. J does not like or drink wine, ever, but he loved this sauce.

Chicken Basil Wine

But really, how can you go wrong with a sauce made with butter, green onions, white wine, basil, and cream?

You can’t. You just can’t.

And when it’s poured over nicely browned chicken breast (and rice or couscous or quinoa), it’s like a little bite of heaven.

  • Return chicken to the skillet and cook for a minute, until heated through. Serve with sauce and your favorite sides!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
