Popping a bottle of bubbly always feels special, but have you ever opened a bottle only to find that you can’t finish it all in one sitting? Maintaining the crisp and refreshing bubble-like nature of champagne can be challenging once the cork is popped, so if you find yourself with a bottle of bubbles that you just can’t finish, cook with it!
Consider this Creamy Champagne Chicken your inspiration! Featuring lightly breaded chicken breasts pan-seared and simmered in a mushroom-champagne cream sauce, this one-pan dish is the perfect way to add elegance to the traditional weeknight chicken dinner or impress guests this holiday season.

Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of flour, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, garlic granules, onions, granules, salt and pepper.

- Stir in the onion, garlic and butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the remaining ¼ cup of flour to make a roux.
- Pour in the prosecco. Once boiling, mix until it becomes very thick.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
- Pour in the cream, salt and pepper and mix. The sauce should be thick at this point.
- Place the chicken breasts back into the pan with the sauce and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with thyme and serve.
