What's the perfect wine match?

Our friends at Majestic Wine recommend Krasno Sauvignon Blanc Ribolla. Venture outside the well loved New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to Slovenia for this elegant, green apple filled wine. Its touch of herbs brings out the fresh tarragon beautifully.

  1. Hi Janette, you can freeze this recipe. Just don’t add the cream at the end. When you want to use it, defrost thoroughly and reheat until piping hot and then add the cream.

  2. Hi Lesley – you could try making the recipe with chicken stock instead but it won’t have the same flavour as using wine. Alternatively you could use non-alcoholic wine?

  3. Should this recipe have cream in it? The description says “The inclusion of mustard in this simple chicken recipe gives depth to the creamy sauce”
