Classic Rustic Italian Supreme


The best Italian dishes are those made with love and simplicity. This is a 30-minute weeknight favourite of mine that's so incredible I crave it frequently.
CLASSIC WHITE WINE CHICKEN FETTUCCINE
Tbsp butter; 2 chicken breasts (bl, sl) cut in half length-wise; 1 thinly sliced carrot; 9-10 sliced mushrooms; 1/3 cup chicken broth; 1/3 cup white wine; fettuccine
As they say, cook with the wine you would actually drink. Good advice. My favourite for this dish is definitely Jackson-Triggs Pinot Grigio - smooth, buttery, sweet and perfect for chicken pasta.
Melt the butter with a splash of olive oil until hot and cook the chicken (soft-side down) for about five minutes, then flip it and add the rest of the ingredients (meanwhile, boil fettuccine). Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve over fettuccine and garnish with dried parsley and fresh black pepper.
