How to Make Chicken Veronique

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in sugar and half of the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the remaining wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the wine is slightly reduced.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the wine sauce in the skillet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the halved green grapes and simmer for another 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the grapes are heated.
  9. Serve the Chicken Veronique over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
