Chicken Marengo
This chicken recipe is very easy. It is a great recipe when you don’t have many ingredients on hand. The star of this recipe, the black olives are a pantry staple for most people, and the cherry tomatoes and white wine can be picked up for this dish on the way home from work or errands. I did this recipe with bone in chicken breasts. I have started to try and streamline my grocery bill, so I will be using more bone in chicken breasts and thighs. Serve this with white rice and roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, or bone in
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly

Method

- Add onions and saute until soft. Turn heat to low. Add butter and melt. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 –3 minutes. Whisk in wine and stock. Add thyme and parsley.
