White Wine Sauce and Italian Chicken over Pasta
A super easy, ultra tasty recipe that calls for white wine, a packet of Italian dressing mix, chicken and pasta.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4-6 chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup white wine (Sauvignon Blanc works especially well due to the herbaceous character)
  • 2 10 oz. or one 14 oz. can(s) cream of mushroom soup
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 finely chopped green onions
  • 1 package of dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • 16 oz. pasta - linguine works very well
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt butter in large pot and stir in package of Italian salad dressing mix. Next stir in wine, mushroom soup and cream cheese until well-blended. Continue to heat (without boiling) mixture for about 5 minutes, sauce should be creamy and all cream cheese should be melted in. Place chicken in single layer in baking dish and pour the above mixture over. Cook for 50-55 minutes. Cook pasta about 15 minutes before chicken is done. Drain pasta and serve chicken and sauce over the linguine. Top with sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan cheese. Don't forget to save some of the white wine to complement dinner!

VERY EASY TO MAKE!, Member rosadra

I seasoned the chicken breasts with a little bit of garlic powder & pepper. I sauteed the green onions and garlic in the butter then added everything else. Btw - I used the Philadelphia cooking creme. I didn't add the sundried tomatoes or parmesan cheese, but it still came out perfect! The first night I made this, my BF went back to get more! Thank you for this great recipe!
