heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic white wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic options retain flavor without alcohol

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds richness

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + seasoning

Vegetable broth is lighter and can be made at home

1

Melt butter in a cast iron pot over medium heat.

2

Season chicken pieces with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3

Sprinkle flour generously on each piece of chicken.

4

Add chicken to the pot skin-side down and cook until lightly colored, in batches if necessary.

5

Remove chicken and add onions and mushrooms to the pot, cooking on low heat until they sweat and release flavor.

6

Return chicken to the pot and sprinkle with another tablespoon of flour, mixing well.

7

Add white wine to the pot and stir while bubbling.

8

Top up with water to barely cover the chicken.

9

Add bouquet garni, bay leaves, and carrots to the pot.

10

Cover and simmer for about 35-40 minutes, removing chicken breasts after 15-20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
