Rosemary Red Wine Poached Chicken

It may be spring where most of you are, but in the mountains spring means warm sunny days scattered throughout big wet snowstorms. We have started lots of herbs in our window, but are just waiting for REAL Summit County spring (aka summer) to come so that we can plant our vegetables outside! As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers right? Next time you are stuck inside on a rainy day, enjoy this comforting and absolutely delicious dinner. The recipe calls for only a half a bottle of wine, which means some left over to enjoy while you relax and listen to the rain.

Wine-Poached-Chicken-Gnocci

I found a similar recipe a long time ago while surfing the web and can’t remember where the original came from, I apologize! Still, it is too good not to share! I love the soft gnocchi with the crunchy arugula. I was weary of poaching chicken at first but the herbs and wine give the chicken so much flavor and keep it nice and juicy. The wine is a subtle flavor, not too intense. The best part? The recipe is full of healthy ingredients; introducing healthy comfort food for those dreary days!

    My goodness, you sure do know how to make a body hungry! 😉 Quick question on the roux… I’m assuming it’s 2 – 4 Tbsp. of flour? Thanks so much, Jenny, for making my meal planning easy… definitely making this!
