Chicken Piedmantasa
Juicy chicken breasts coated with herbs and spices, then baked in wine and broth for a flavorful, tender dish perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound with a mallet until flat like a pancake.
- In a plastic bag, combine flour, oregano, rosemary, paprika, basil leaves, Italian seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip pounded chicken breasts into the flour-seasoning mixture, tossing until coated, making sure not to crowd the chicken.
- In a large skillet, melt butter and brown the coated chicken breasts on each side, adding more butter as needed. Be careful not to let the chicken burn.
- In an 11 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish, layer the browned chicken pieces.
- Dissolve chicken bouillon cubes in 1 cup boiling water and add 1 cup white wine to the skillet, stirring to lift all the browned bits from the pan.
- Pour the wine-broth mixture over the layered chicken breasts.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake at 300°F (150°C) for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the flour mixture. If you don't have chicken bouillon cubes, you can substitute with a low-sodium chicken broth. To save time, you can also use pre-seasoned flour. Make sure the chicken breasts are pounded evenly for consistent cooking. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a side of Fresh Vegetable Risotto or a simple green salad for a light meal. You could also serve it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A glass of white wine complements the flavors beautifully, making it perfect for entertaining or a cozy dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but the cooking time will need to be adjusted. Bone-in pieces will take longer to cook through, so increase the baking time to about 50-60 minutes at 300°F. Be sure to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
What can I substitute for white wine?
If you prefer not to use white wine, you can substitute it with additional chicken broth or a mixture of vinegar and water. For a bit of sweetness, consider using apple juice or grape juice as a non-alcoholic option, but adjust seasoning to balance the flavors.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dish up to the baking step, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven to ensure even cooking.
