Mediterranean Chicken with Lemon Cream Sauce

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Poultry - Chicken

Easy and very good.

"Great recipe, but the ingredients call out for parsley when the instructions call for basil. This little thing could cause a huge difference in taste considering the amount called for in the recipe. I made it with parsley because that's what was added to my shopping list, but next time I think I'll try basil and I bet it comes out even better." - karenharwood

  • Here it is! We increased the cream to 1 1/2 cups and used basil. This was sooo great. It was a home coming dinner for my husband and he gave it a 10. photo by MommyCook6 MommyCook6

    I just realized I put parsley instead of basil. So sorry. I edited the recipe. :-)

    My husband and I really love this dish! I don't add the cream and we love the sauce more! Noticed the parsley vs basil issue. Not sure which one is right but we like it with parsley. This one goes in the regular rotation.

    Nice recipe and relatively easy to make. Next time I'm halving the artichoke hearts bc it felt like a lot. Thx

    Love all of the flavors. Used roasted red pepper instead of sun dried tomatoes and changed to a cheap Moscato wine b/c that's what I had on hand.

    Excellent Flavor! I substituted long grain rice for the angel hair pasta and it worked well.

    The flavor of this dish is AMAZING! Really a great dish. We used basil and increased the cream to 1 1/2 cups. Also topped it with shredded Parm.

    I didn't have any madeira or marsala so I used what I had on hand - Carmenere. The rest of the bottle went very well with the main dish. I try to keep the carbs down so I used riced cauliflower in place of the pasta - still very tasty!

    I floured/seasoned and sauted tenderized chicken till golden and crunchy first - set aside and followed the next steps. Ended up trippling the wine/cream and served over garlic mashed potatoes. Great meal!

    Once you add the cream, watch carefully. It could stick and burn. [I posted this recipe.]
