Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken #SundaySupper

By 38 Comments

Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken #SundaySupperThe thing I love best about Sunday afternoon is the fact that it is the one day that I have time to test new recipes. You know, the ones that you have been wanting to try but aren’t quite sure what ingredients you will be adding. It’s my time to play in the kitchen and add a little bit of this and tad of that. In my foodie world, these recipes start with an idea and become a work of art as I go along.

Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken #SundaySupperThis recipe for Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken was created on one of those Sunday afternoons. I found myself alone in the kitchen and at our home, this is a very rare occasion. When I get the house to myself, I love to pour myself a glass of wine and cook!

I had just received three beautiful bottles of Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato – White, Pink and Red. I opened the White Moscato first and immediately fell in love with the refreshing peach and honey flavors. It was the perfect glass of wine for a Sunday afternoon. I had chicken thighs in the fridge and inspired by this wine, created this recipe for Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken.

Lemon Rosemary Moscato Chicken #SundaySupperBy the time everyone came home for Sunday Supper that evening, the house smelled amazing. We enjoyed this chicken over creamy parmesan orzo and let the amazing Moscato sauce take over the pasta. Big smiles all the way around, especially when I brought out the Flan in Moscato Wine Sauce.

Yep! This is what happens when I have an afternoon to myself in the kitchen, dessert is included in our Sunday Supper.

  22. Just had to circle back because I made this last night, and it was SO good! The garlic under the skin just melted into it … and the pan juices were so irresistible, we went through a lot of bread sopping it all up! Morgan wants this in the rotation now. :-9

  24. Isabel, I’ve been drooling over this chicken ever since I saw your photos yesterday. It looks perfect! I love when experimenting in the kitchen yields such an amazing recipe. The sear on your chicken thighs is irresistible and of course, adding delicious moscato just takes it over the top. I can’t wait to make this myself! Pinned.
