Chicken On The Stove Top
Prep time:
5 minutesCooking time:
35 minutes“A thrifty and delicious use for any leftover wine, red or white, is to add it (up to 1 cup per quart) to a store-bought vinegar for instant wine vinegar. Use on salads or for a variety of cooking needs.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned

- 1 1/3 cups dry white wine or sparkling grape juice
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth
- 2 cups hot cooked orzo
Directions
1
Sprinkle salt and nutmeg over chicken. Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add chicken. Cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
2
Add bell pepper, mushrooms and green onions to skillet; mix well. Stir in white wine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low.
3
Simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes; remove to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
4

Couscous, a very tiny pasta shape, cooks even quicker than orzo. Pour 1 cup of couscous into 1 cup of boiling water. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Green Beans in Dill Sauce
Grandma used frozen whole green beans for this recipe once in awhile. She'd just thaw them and skip the first step. They tasted just as good to us!
