Chicken Au Champagne
Ready In: 45 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (with bone and skin)
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- chervil or tarragon or thyme
- 1 shallot, quartered
- 1 cup Brut champagne
Directions
- Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan skin side down and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. (I like it with both the Thyme and Tarragon).
- Pour half cup of champagne over breasts.
- Make a slit in each breast and insert shallot.
- Place the pan under the broiler for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken breast side up and broil for an additional 5 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned.
- Remove the chicken from the broiler, baste with the pan juices and add the remaining half cup champagne.
- Adjust the oven temp to 475 degrees and bake the chicken for 30 minutes, basting once or twice.
