Ingredients

Serves 4

4 chicken breasts or thighs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

250 g mushrooms, sliced

125 ml BC Blanc de Blanc

200 ml fresh cream

125 ml chicken stock

1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional sides: Steamed rice, roasted potatoes, or crusty bread

Method

1. Prepare the chicken

   Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

2. Brown the chicken

   Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the mushrooms and onion

   In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown.

4. Deglaze with wine

   Pour in the BC Blanc de Blanc and allow it to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. This helps lift the flavours from the pan while creating the base of the sauce.

5. Create the sauce

   Add the chicken stock, cream, and thyme. Stir gently and allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.

6. Finish the dish

   Return the chicken to the pan and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. Serve

   Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with rice, roasted potatoes, or warm bread to soak up the sauce.

   
   

Why Blanc de Blanc Works in Cooking

White wine adds brightness and balance to rich dishes, helping to lift creamy sauces and enhance savoury ingredients like mushrooms and chicken. BC Blanc de Blanc is particularly well suited to cooking thanks to its clean, refreshing profile, which complements rather than overwhelms the dish.

And of course, while the wine adds flavour to the recipe, it also pairs beautifully with the finished meal.
