Wine-Marinated Skillet Chicken Recipe Represents Two Countries In One Pan (5 Ingredients) High Protein Recipes One-Pan Recipes Low Carb Recipes Chicken Recipes Dinner Gluten-free Italian Recipes French Recipes

Marinating chicken is one of the easiest ways to impart flavor to the bone. In Italy and France they love cooking chicken in wine. This easy red wine-marinated chicken recipe is juicy, flavorful and the perfect dish for red wine lovers.

To make this one-pan recipe you only need five simple ingredients. Here is your shopping list for this high-protein skillet chicken dinner: bone-in chicken pieces (read about the health benefits of protein), fresh garlic, fresh rosemary or thyme, olive oil and a bottle of red one. You don't need an expensive red wine for this recipe, just make sure it is one that you would drink.

The low-carb chicken is marinated in the fresh garlic, herbs, olive oil and wine for at least two hours and up to overnight. The chicken is then cooked in a skillet until browned before the marinade is poured back over the chicken for it to simmer in. Delicious!

Serve this easy Italian- and French-inspired chicken recipe with potatoes or rice to soak up the wine sauce and your favorite vegetable or salad. The leftovers make a mean chicken salad.

Ingredients

• 2 - 3 pounds chicken pieces, skin removed

1. Combine the garlic, herbs and 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl. Season the chicken with salt and and pepper and add to the bowl. Toss to coat. (You could use boneless chicken, but it will affect cooking time.)
2. Pour the wine over the chicken. Gently mix to coat. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. 
3. When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade (save the marinade!). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
