Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 onion, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups red wine
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 (8 ounce) package button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups halved baby carrots
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, or as needed
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook 1/2 of the chicken in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pot and brown remaining chicken. Return all the chicken to the pot.

Step 2

Stir Italian seasoning, rosemary, salt, and pepper into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove lid and turn heat up to medium-high; boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a shallow bowl. Pour milk into a separate bowl. Dip chicken in milk, allowing excess milk to drip back into bowl. Dredge chicken through flour mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4

Mix carrots, mushrooms, and onion into chicken, stirring gently to distribute vegetables among the chicken. Pour wine over chicken and vegetables, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add enough chicken broth to nearly cover the chicken and vegetables.
