I’ve been eating Chicken in Lemon Garlic White Wine Sauce in a restaurant for many years and it’s one of my Favorite recipes to order in Italian restaurants apart from Tiramisu …
Who doesn’t love a fresh and classic tiramisu recipe!!The succulent chicken with a buttery lemon garlic wine sauce…almost sounded impossible to come out of home kitchen-Right?
Finally, a few weeks back I made this Chicken in Lemon Garlic White Wine Sauce at home and guess what, it turned out pretty well.
Since it was my first trial/making this Chicken in Lemon Garlic White Wine Sauce at home and the wine-lemon quantity were less……
So, I made it a couple of times with variation of wine and finally perfected it with Pinot Grigio
(As you need a dry, crisp wine for the flavors to combine well and enhance).
Actually, the dryness in the Pinot Grigio wine goes Amazingly with the lemony-buttery sauce, they are like made for each other.
So after perfecting this recipe and having made it so many times for our family brunches/girls night in, I believe :
” NOW “ is the time to share this simple, elegant yet succulent recipe with you all to enjoy with your family and friends.

Instructions
Cooking the Chicken -

- Transfer the cooked chicken on the large plate.
Preparing the Wine Sauce --
- In the same pan, add the butter and let it heat for a minute.

- Garnish with some sliced capers / banana pepper and serve.
Notes
* I’m using Pinot Grigio (You may use any Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc or un-oaked Chardonnay)

Very good recipe. I let the chicken breast simmer longer in the sauce to make sure it was thoroughly cooked.
Molly Kumar February 15, 2021 (5:29 am)
Hello Darlene, thanks so much for trying my recipe – – Thanks, Molly

Found this randomly on a search for white wine sauce. I followed the directions, but used a dry chard and cooked broccoli in the sauce before throwing the chicken back in. It was amazing! My spouse said it was the best dish I’d ever made. Thank you!
Molly Kumar September 4, 2019 (3:49 pm)
Hi Ryan, thank you so much for your sweet message and I’m soooo glad you and your spouse loved this recipe. Thanks, Molly 🙂

I’ve been trying to make a sauce like this comparable to the picatta sauce at my favorite restaurant. Using this recipe was the first time I didn’t mess it up, LOL! My boyfriend thanks you!
Molly Kumar August 1, 2019 (3:15 pm)
Hi Alexandra, I’m so glad you liked and tried the recipe 🙂
Lesa March 30, 2019 (11:34 pm)
Used cornstarch instead of flour to crisp the chicken so the sauce was thin, but it was delish!
Molly Kumar April 1, 2019 (7:49 am)
Hi Lesa, yes I do add cornstarch to crisp the chicken at times and the thin sauce actually goes perfectly with that crispness 🙂 Glad you liked the recipe – Thanks so much for trying it.
Debra R. Shanta April 18, 2020 (9:09 pm)

Molly Kumar April 19, 2020 (3:37 am)

We had this dish on holiday in Italy in June and my husband loved it, thanks to you posting your recipe I can try it out at home, can’t wait – thanks so much.
Thomas Hoffman June 28, 2017 (3:36 am)
I did everything in the cast iron but the noodles, lol
Tom Hoffman June 27, 2017 (2:39 pm)
My chicken breasts were very thick and I added a third one to make a pot recipe that would last a week for a bachelor. I upped the butter, lemon juice, wine and salt and pepper to make it work. The sauce ended up creamy and delicious. I also made thin spaghetti noodles to serve it over. I also cut the breasts into cubes. I cooked everything but the noodles in cast iron, which always adds a wonderful added flavor dimension. Thank you for giving me a nice recipe to work with!
Molly Kumar June 28, 2017 (3:34 am)
Hi Tom, Thanks for trying my recipe and for your wonderful comment. I’m so glad you liked it and the cast iron sauteed noodles sounds amazing with it 🙂 – Thanks, Molly
Michael June 16, 2017 (11:56 pm)

Molly Kumar June 18, 2017 (3:35 am)
Hi Michael, Thanks for trying the recipe and I’m glad you liked it. The addition of green onions sounds totally yum !!!
