EASY CREAMY CHICKEN TENDERS WITH RICH SAUCE



Easy Creamy Chicken Tenders with Rich Sauce image

Saturday, I wanted to make something for dinner that wasn't time consuming and was easy. I wanted to "play" in the yard -enjoying myself among the plants and flowers. I had the main ingredient -chicken. So, I ran into the store and quickly got the few things I didn't have. Then I joined the birds (including a precious...

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pkg (6-8) skinless chicken tenders
2 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil for the pan
1/3 c chopped spring onions (or chopped sweet onion)
1/3 c white wine (or unsalted chicken broth)
1 large tomato, seeded & cut in small chunks (or 1 small can diced tomatoes, drained)
1/2 c heavy cream (or canned evaporated milk, or whole milk). see note 1.
4-5 basil leaves divided in half and cut in chiffonade (or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
**WITH ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR LISTED INGREDIENTS

Steps:

  • 1. Heat enough olive oil (approx. 2 T.) to coat your sauté pan, add the chopped onion, and cook until tender and translucent;
  • 2. add the chicken tenders and sear; remove chicken from pan and add the white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan. let reduce by 1/4 (approximately 3 minutes on med/high heat).
  • 3. Add the tomatoes and let cook until the tomatoes soften. Then add the heavy cream (or milk), worcestershire sauce and 1/2 half of the basil leaves that have been cut (or 1/2 of the dried basil leaves).
  • 4. Add the chicken tenders back to the sauce and let cook for approximately 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens a little. Before serving add the rest of the basil chiffonade (or dried basil).
  • 5. NOTE 1: You can increase the amount of sauce by increasing the wine (or broth) and cream (or milk); just taste to see if it needs more salt, pepper and/or basil and worcestershire sauce. ALSO, if you would like a thinner sauce with fewer calories, you can omit the cream/milk and increase the wine/broth to 1/2 cup. This will change the taste and creaminess -but will still be good.
  • 6. NOTE 2: ** I have included alternatives to the listed ingredients in case you can't use or don't have some of the ingredients (wine, fresh veggies, etc.). Just be aware if you use the alternative ingredients, it will not be the same recipe or taste the same as my original dish -but will still be as good.
  • 7. ENJOY!!

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
5 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup half-and-half
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken tenders in flour mixture until coated.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  • Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken stock and cook until sauce has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice; let reduce for 10 more minutes.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the pan. Add chicken and allow to heat through, about 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
