Chicken Romano in White Wine Sauce

September 4, 2014 by Jaida Leave a Comment

Hello thunder and lightning storm! Yep, that’s what I’m listening to and seeing right now. The bad part…it’s hotter than a motha up in hurr, which means it’s humid as all get out when the rain falls. Gross. Humidity and this girl’s hair are NOT friends. Not even a little bit. Luckily, I get to sit on my hiney in an office all day at work so I don’t have to be out in it. But still. That steamy heat coming off the asphalt when I walk to my car is horrid. I have such a rough life, right? You can go ahead and smack me now.

But despite the frizz-inducing, thick, sticky air that surrounds Austin at the moment, I’m holding on for dear life to what is left of summer. Because I am not looking forward to 30, 40, or 50-degree temperatures. At all. Ever. Winter can suck it.

Except on Christmas. That’s one day when it should NOT be 80 degrees. It just feels weird. I speak from experience, so just trust me.

I think I’m one of the few people I know who uses her oven on a regular basis, year-round. A lot of people prefer to use their outdoor grill or crock pot to reduce the increase of heat in their home (thus resulting in higher a/c usage), but not this gal. I just wanna cook what I wanna cook and not worry about the method as much while I’m planning. We are also very fortunate that our  house stays naturally a little cooler than most. In the summer, that’s a bonus. In winter…notsomuch.

So, naturally, when I saw this chicken recipe I had to add it to the menu. Yes, it requires time in the oven but you guys…it’s worth it. And hey, if you’re one of those who don’t like to use the oven, save this for when the weather gets a little cooler. It’s delish. And would be great if you’re having guests for dinner. And even if you’re not. Spoil the hubby/boyfriend/fiance/girlfriend/wife – whoever. Make someone special a nice dinner – just because. Not because it’s their birthday or an anniversary. Just because you love them. Sometimes I think that extra effort “just because” means more than all the fuss for a “special occasion”.

Oven-baked chicken topped with freshly grated Romano cheese in a white wine sauce will surely wow your dinner companion(s). I served it with Israeli couscous and sauteed zucchini.

As seen on Cozy Country Living
Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup flour (I use white whole wheat)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat.
  3. In a large , ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown for a couple of minutes on both sides. Reduce the heat to low, and the chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil.
  4. Remove from the heat, cover loosely with foil (don’t clamp it down and burn yourself!), and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chicken generously with Romano cheese.

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!
