This White Wine-Glazed Chicken sounds fancy, looks like it comes from a five-star restaurant in New York City, and tastes like a million bucks. But it’s easy and inexpensive to make. So if you ever want to feel like you’re living on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but your time and budget are more along the lines of Married…with Children, this dish is for you.

This dish starts with perfectly cooked chicken thighs, golden on both sides. Then you add freshly sliced mushrooms, sweet bell pepper, fragrant green onions, and aromatic rosemary, along with your dry white wine. The herbs, vegetables, and wine mingle, deepening the flavors of each, while the broth soaks into the chicken, giving it a mouth-watering tenderness. This all cooks over a low heat for about 20 minutes, ensuring the flavors develop into a rich, savory celebration of deliciousness.

Serve this dish with a side of rice and a glass of wine for an unforgettable meal, whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening with your favorite book, eating a meal with your family, or you have company for dinner.

In fact, this White Wine-Glazed Chicken is one of my favorite recipes to make when I have a couple of guests over for dinner, or even for smaller dinner parties. It’s so easy to expand this meal to serve multiple people without a lot of additional effort. If you really want to do it up, set the table with a simple tablecloth and a few candles, put some Bossa Nova or a classic Horace Silver album on the stereo, and set out a bottle or two of white wine and you have the makings of a lovely, mellow evening filled with conversation and cheer.
