Photo: Quick Chick-in-Wine with Brie-Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs and breasts
- 1/2 bottle dry white wine
- 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
- Salt
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
- 4 slices deli-cut bacon or thick cut pancetta, chopped
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Flour, for dredging plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped or 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 bay leaf
- A few sprigs thyme, stripped and leaves chopped
- 1/3 pound wedge brie, cut into pieces
- Crusty, warm bread
Directions
In a large bowl, add the chicken, cover with wine, and set aside.
Quarter the potatoes, leaving the skin-on. Place in a large pot, cover with water and bring up to a boil over medium heat. When the potatoes are cooked, drain and place in a medium bowl. Mash the potatoes, season with salt and set aside.
In a small pot, combine apple and cream and reduce over medium heat 15 minutes.
Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add the bacon and crisp 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
While bacon crisps, remove the chicken to a work surface, reserving the wine. Cut chicken into large bite-size pieces, season with salt and pepper, dredge in flour then brown in bacon drippings. While chicken browns chop vegetables. Remove the chicken to a plate, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, season the vegetables with salt and pepper and add bay leaf and thyme. Cover pan to sweat vegetables 5 minutes then remove lid, stir in 2 tablespoons flour, cook 1 minute then stir in wine, add chicken back to pan and simmer together to thicken and the chicken is cooked through, a couple of minutes more.
To a food processor, add the apple-cream and brie, process until smooth and season with salt. Combine apple-brie mixture with the mashed potatoes.
Serve chicken with wine over brie mashed potatoes.

No worries about using the wine marinade as its brought to a boil.
Delicious. I used half and half and less cheese to make myself feel better about lowering the fat. HA!

I didn't use the cream or apple for the mashed potatoes, as I didn't have a shopping list when I went to the store, it was the spur of the moment to make it. I used buttermilk. The brie and the buttermilk in the mashed potatoes, was amazing. Next time I make this I want to use the apples and cream. The Chicken was tender, but I think I will use some chicken broth along with the wine to make the gravy. It makes a casual meal seem elegant.

Oh my goodness! my family and i just finished this meal and it was fantastic! Yes, it was definitly longer to prepare than 30 minutes but because i had the whole day to put it together i prepared the potatoes ahead of time and chopped the veggies, cut up the chicken. I was ready to combine all ingredients when my family was ready to sit down and eat. Thanks Rachele, i will definitly share this with my friends and make this dish again!
