chicken with white wine, herbs & garlic
This is a delicious chicken recipe with white wine, herbs, and garlic that can just as easily be made as a mid week supper or served to impress guests. The fall-off-the bone chicken cooks in the wine and stock making a delicious sauce that will have you scraping the plate for more.
I absolutely love the combination of white wine, garlic, and herbs with chicken and roasted it’s my all-time favourite chicken dish. I’ve made it using whole birds, chicken pieces and new potatoes, using stout instead of wine or Italian sausages, orange and herbs. With this variation, I’ve made it in a slow and pressure cooker to make it even more effortless and or quicker, so you can choose how to roll with it. It was featured in the July issue of Food & Home Entertaining. This is winter comfort food to the max and must be served alongside crusty bread, roast potatoes or any other side that laps up the juice.
It seems like a lot of liquid but trust me on this its almost never enough.

Hi Sam.
2 questions.
Do you mean a mixture of all of those herbs or are they just suggestions as I only have fresh parsley.
The 3Tsp Olive Oil at the bottom of ingredient list is not contained in the body of the method……….
Does that go in the mix with wine, stock etc?
Looks delicious…..In my slow cooker now and the aroma is already permeating the kitchen.
Thanks so much.

HI Gilly, I use a mix of all the herbs I mentioned in the recipe. I hope you liked it anyway. best Sam

Thanks Sam
no slow cooker or pressure cooker1
Colleen, I always used to cook mine in an oven-proof casserole dish.
HI Colleen, I mention in the post and share links on all the other ways to cook this recipe. Roasted in the oven etc.
It was completely delicious and I only used Parsley, will try a mixture of herbs next time. I put the Olive Oil in?? and it was still delicious and not oily at all….
Thank you…It’s a great addition to my repertoire. 8 hours on slow,.Perfect.
Hi Sam, this looks delicious. I would like to make it for quite a big casual dinner party for 10+ guests and am wondering if it would work to bake the chicken in the sauce on oven trays? I just don’t have a pot big enough.. Let me know, many thanks, Claudia
HI Claudia, no problem I share all the links to the other similar recipes in the post, including the
Enjoy! roast chicken. So you could triple this recipe where the chicken is oven roasted. You can leave out the potatoes if you don’t have space and cook them separately, otherwise, cook in 3 large trayshttps://drizzleanddip.com/2015/09/02/roast-chicken-in-white-wine-herbs-and-garlic/
