I made this for my husband and myself last year. It's from True Grits cookbook and it was good. The champagne wasn't expensive to use. I serve rice with it to use the sauce.
Breasts of Chicken in Champagne Sauce serves 6
6 chicken breast, boneless, skinless 1 tablespoon paprika salt white pepper 1 whole lemon juice 2 teaspoons shallots, chopped 1/4 cup butter 2 cups Champagne, extra dry 4 cups cream 2 bunches green onions including tops, chopped
Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides with the paprika, salt and white pepper. Place in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice, shallot, butter and Champagne. Mix well. Poach, covered, for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a platter. Cook the pan juices until reduced by 2/3, stirring constantly. Stir in the cream. Cook until the liquid is reduced by 1/2, stirring constantly. Add the chicken, mix well. Cook just until the chicken is heated through, stirring occasionally. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with the green onions.
