A flavorful chicken dish simmered in white wine with garlic salt and parsley, offering tender meat and a delicious gravy, perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken pieces and sprinkle them with garlic salt.
- Melt margarine in an electric frypan over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and brown them on both sides.
- Sprinkle parsley flakes over the chicken and pour in 1/4 cup of white wine.
- Cover the frypan and simmer for 1 hour, turning the chicken pieces occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken pieces in white wine with garlic salt and parsley flakes for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have white wine on hand, chicken broth or apple cider vinegar can be great substitutes. Make sure to not overcrowd the frypan to ensure even browning. This recipe also pairs wonderfully with other chicken recipes like El'S Killer Wings.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is excellent served with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, such as Chick-A-Dorf Salad, to balance the richness of the chicken. You can also serve it over a bed of rice or with crusty bread to soak up the savory wine sauce. A chilled glass of white wine complements the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover wine and chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. You can also microwave it in short intervals, covered, until heated through. Avoid reheating multiple times to preserve quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skinless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use skinless chicken pieces, but keep in mind that the skin adds extra flavor and moisture. If using skinless, consider adding a bit more margarine or oil to prevent the chicken from drying out while cooking.
What can I replace white wine with if I don't drink alcohol?
If you prefer not to use wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water. This will still provide a nice depth of flavor without the alcohol content.
How can I tell when the chicken is fully cooked?
To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (75°C). Additionally, the juices should run clear when pierced, and the meat should no longer be pink near the bone.
