France: Chicken Provençal

CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE I USED

This was absolutely delicious. I loved everything about it.

There are about a thousand variations of this recipe online so I opted to use the linked recipe as a base and changed a couple of things based on other Chicken Provençal recipes.

A lot of recipes use vermouth but I don't have vermouth in the house and I wasn't going to buy a bottle for one recipe. So, I used white wine and, honestly, it was amazing.

The linked recipe calls for lemon juice but I chopped up a lemon and added it to the pan on top of the garlic and shallots. It gave it a more rustic look and provided a lot of freshness and brightness to the dish.

Many recipes add olives, tomatoes, and capers to the dish. I opted out on the olives and capers but did add cherry tomatoes and they were fantastic in it. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to give capers a try but today is not that day.

This wasn't difficult to make and I would definitely make it again!
