Ingredients

  • 4 (5-6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (12.0 ounce package) sour cream
  • 1/4 (cup) grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Fill a medium sized pot with water and season well with salt, then bring to a boil over high heat. Add chicken breasts and lower the temperature.
  2. Simmer chicken breasts in water until almost tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and reserve broth.
  3. In a bowl, mix together sour cream, parmesan cheese, white wine, 1/4 cup of the reserved chicken broth, salt and lemon pepper.

    My son (age 7) didn't care for this recipe, and the rest of the family rated it only OK.

    Easy to prepare, not a lot of flavor, and couldn't get the sauce to thicken.

    Flavor was lacking. I didn't like the aftertaste - most likely the wine.?. I thought the mixture was too watery/loose. I combined with frozen veggies and added them in with everything at the end. Used a 9x13 - 350*. Crushed two sleeves of ritz and covered top of mixture. Drizzled butter over cracker topping. Let cook for about 30 min. Look for bubbling. Next time I will add some cream cheese to thicken mixture or cream of chicken soup instead of chicken broth. If I had poppy seeds, I would have added those too.

    @Anonymous- Hi this is Chef Heather from Food on the Table. Thank you for pointing out this typo. I have corrected the amount to show 1 teaspoon. To make this a complete meal I like Heather's suggestion above to turn this into a casserole. Also I think that this chicken would be nice served over rice or a baked potato/mashed potato. Some additional spices/ingredients you could add to increase the flavor (if needed) are onion, garlic, dried or fresh parsley, dried Italian seasoning, dried ranch seasoning, or for some spice crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne powder. To thicken the sauce, let the sauce simmer for a little bit longer or make a roux by melting 2 tablespoons of butter and whisking in 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour and continue to stir constantly until a thick constancy occurs. Stir the roux into the sauce while it simmers.

    After reading some reviews I decided to make a roux for the sauce to thicken it up. I also added a little more seasoning and garlic to the sauce. It was very tasty. I ended up keeping the chicken breast whole and serving it over brown rice. Family enjoyed it, I will be making this again.

    Had thickening issues, will try the Roux idea next time. Otherwise really enjoyed the recipe. It does taste better over rice :-) Looking forward to trying more recipes!

    Hi Aaron! Yes a roux, would certainly help thicken this sauce or you could even make a slurry by string 1 teaspoon of cornstarch into a 2-3 tablespoons water and then mixing it into the sauce. For more information about roux check out these previous discussions: http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/471-does-a-roux-always-start-with-butter-and-flour AND http://www.foodonthetable.com/discussions/850-gluten-free-roux-question

    Thanks for that. Followed the Roux recipe above and it helped thicken it up. Also added some Neufchatel cheese for an extra taste. Served with cheesy California mixed veggies and mashed potatoes.

    I envision this recipe as the chicken version of beef stroganoff! Definitely adding in garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, ground mustard, a bit of sugar. Will add this to my meal plan and see what happens! :)

    @Anonymous- While a select number of our recipes contain nutritional data, this is not something we currently offer for all recipes on the site. However, if you do a quick internet search you will find a number of websites that provide nutritional data calculators that will allow you to plug in recipes or ingredients and will calculate the nutritional information for you. This data will vary slightly depending on the brands you are using or the calculating software.
