Chicken Breasts with Red Wine Sauce (Chef Meg's Makeover)
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Chef Meg made over a classic dish, which is sometimes called "Hunters Chicken" or "Chicken Cacciatore." ("Cacciatore" means "hunter" in Italian!)

She reduced the fat and sodium in the recipe and cut almost 60 calories from each serving! She also added quartered mushrooms to bulk up the recipe and increase the serving size.

NOTE: In choosing a wine for cooking, always use one that's good enough to drink. Never buy "cooking wine," which is full of additives and sodium. Keep a four-pack of small wine bottles on hand for cooking.
