Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in the wine for a few hours before baking. If you don't have Chablis or Sauterne, a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc can be a great substitute. To add some freshness, you can layer in sautéed mushrooms or spinach before adding the cheese. This dish is reminiscent of comforting American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This Chicken and Wine Supreme pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, like a Reduced Fat Caesar Salad. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside creamy mashed potatoes or rice. The dish can also be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken instead of boneless?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but the cooking time may increase. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety. Adjust the baking time to about 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking for doneness at the thicker parts of the chicken.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup?
If you prefer a homemade option, you can make a quick white sauce with butter, flour, and chicken broth. Alternatively, cream of mushroom or a creamy cheese sauce can also work well if you want to change the flavor profile.
Is there a vegetarian version of this dish?
To create a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with hearty vegetables like eggplant or portobello mushrooms. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken soup and consider adding layers of fresh cheese. This will provide a similar creamy texture and flavor.
