Chicken with Prosecco Sauce

“Prosecco time” is what my dear friend Kristjan and I refer to whenever we meet up for dinner and drinks. Since he lives in Toronto and I in Brooklyn, those meetings are unfortunately few and far between.

If we could have it our way, Prosecco time would be every weekend. But when it does happen, you can bet your bottom dollar it turns into a bubbly celebration! The last time we saw each other was a few months ago when he was in New York for business and I invited him over for dinner. I thought it would be fun to not only serve Prosecco in glasses, but to cook with it as well.

I made a rustic style chicken served with stir fried vegetables and a simple green salad. This dish screams Italy!

The sauce is made with butter, rosemary, onions, chicken stock and Prosecco. It’s cooked in a deep pan and left to briefly simmer until the onions are soft. Everything is then pureed into a thick, velvety sauce and poured on top of the chicken and vegetables.

It’s amazing.

So amazing that I have since made it on a regular basis – it’s part of our monthly meal rotation.

For this recipe, I am using VOVETI Prosecco. VOVETI is upscale and affordable, perfect for everyday pairing or chic entertaining with friends.

I like its dryness and the fact that it’s very easy to drink and cook with. VOVETI is a high quality, craft prosecco; only 15,000 cases are produced annually. And because of that, I am only using about a cup to cook with so there will be plenty left to sip on.

It’s a Prosecco to enjoy during and after a meal!

You can make this chicken with Prosecco sauce ahead of time. I recommend keeping the sauce separate until right before serving.

The mushrooms pick up the flavor of the sauce extremely well so if you wish to add more vegetables to this dish, up the amount of button mushrooms for a major flavor boost!
