Pennys Best Chicken in Wine Recipe

  • 12 saltine crackers, crumbled
  • 4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 12 fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch dried tarragon (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Pour crumbled saltine crackers into a large bowl. Press chicken pieces into crackers to coat completely; let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chicken pieces in hot butter until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a casserole dish.
  4. Saute mushrooms and onion in the same skillet until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour chicken broth, white wine, salt, pepper, and tarragon into onion mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Pour mushroom mixture over chicken into the casserole dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbling, about 45 minutes.
