Wine Substitutes

White wine subs: chicken broth if a sweet wine, white grape juice with a splash of vinegar for dry wine


Red wine: red grape juice or cranberry juice with splash of flavored vinegar, or broth

tenderloin with broccoli and sweet potatoes

mmmmm tonight we had tenderloin with broccoli and sweet potatoes.




Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup balsalmic vinegar or red wine vinegar (I usually use red wine), 8 garlic cloves, and 4 tsp of rosemary. Marinate for a couple hrs.



Instead of broiling it, I put it in a 9X9 pan with all the sauce and bake it at 450 until a meat thermometer registers 145ish (med rare-med).



Its really really easy and SO good!

Chicken with Sundried tomatoes and Spinach

We had Chicken w/ Sundried tomatoes and Spinach. I used chicken tenderloins. Served with baked sweet potatoes and salad.


Ingredients:

• 2 T butter or olive oil
• 1/2 c white wine
• 1 lemon, juiced (I used lime because I didn't have lemon)
• 1/2 c sundried tomatoes in oil, chopped
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/2 c chicken broth

*I pound the chicken to 1/4 inch thick. Optional step.


1. Season chicken with S&P.
2. Over med/high, cook chicken in olive oil or butter evenly until both sides are done. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. In remaining oil, cook sundried tomatoes for 1 minute. Add white wine, broth, and juice of 1 lemon. Cook until reduced by 1/2.
4. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
5. When serving, pour SD tomato/spinach sauce over the chicken.


My whole family likes this. Charis just adds ketchup (*gag*).

Oh, and you could do this with any combo of veggies. Portobello mushrooms or eggplant was my first thought.
