Chicken in a Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce #SundaySupper

Chicken in Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce #SundaySupper Father’s Day is truly a special day around here. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful men in my children’s lives and we love to make them feel special on their day. Vo is the best grandfather anyone could ask for and Ron is an amazing Dad . My children are truly at the core of both of these men’s hearts and lives. I can’t help but wish that my boys grow up to be just like them.

Fathers Day #SundaySupper You know us, it’s all about the memories that are made around the family table, and what better way to celebrate a special day than with a great meal and great wine! This recipe for Chicken in a Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce is one that has been around our family for years. I think every guy in this house will tell that it is “his” favorite chicken dish. It is so simple but the wine sauce makes this chicken recipe one that you would find on a restaurant menu.

Chicken in a Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce #SundaySupper We have made this chicken for Christenings, Graduations and many other special moments in our lives (it is so easy to double or triple the recipe) and we know that it wouldn’t be Father’s Day without our favorite chicken dish! Both chicken broth and white wine or beef broth and red wine will work in this recipe. One would naturally assume that chicken should be made in a white wine sauce but, the verdict is that we actually prefer it when it is prepared in the red wine sauce.

#SundaySupper with Gallo Family Vineyards We paired this chicken dish with the GALLO PINOT NOIR and it was a match made in heaven. The smooth and light finish of the Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry and sweet fruit flavors was the perfect complement for the hearty Chicken in a Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce. The only thing that could make this Father’s Day Menu even better — Vo-Vo’s Famous Cheesecake. After all, it wouldn’t be a celebration without Vo-Vo’s Cheesecake. This cheesecake paired perfectly with the smooth and light GALLO CAFÉ ZINFANDEL.

Chicken in a Caramelized Onion Wine Sauce #SundaySupper

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • ½ cup canola oil, divided
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Gallo Family Vineyards Wine - we love using Pinot Noir
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish if desired

Instructions

  1. Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and the bread crumbs on a large plate
  2. Dip the chicken tenderloins in the egg and then coat with the seasoned bread crumbs. Press down the bread crumbs to ensure the chicken is well coated.
  3. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Do not use a non-stick pan.
  4. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken tenderloins one at a time to the pan without crowding.
  5. Cook the chicken without turning until it is nicely browned, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining strips and adding more oil as needed.
  7. Drain any excess oil from the pan and turn heat on medium-low.
  8. Add the butter. When it is melted, add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
  9. As the onions start to cook down, use a wooden spoon and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. (This is what will make your sauce taste delicious).
  10. Cook the onions approximately 10 minutes until they start to caramelize.
  11. Return all the chicken back to the pan and add the wine and beef broth.
  12. Cover pan and simmer on low for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  13. You will be rewarded with the juiciest chicken and most delicious sauce you have ever tried.
  14. Serve over orzo pasta or rice.
