A smooth, delicate cream sauce gives a special taste to these tender chicken breasts accompanied by pearl onions and sauteed mushrooms. This dish is so rich-tasting, you'll want to serve it to company. —Margaret Haugh Heilman, Houston, Texas

  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1 cup chardonnay or other dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1-1/3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven or large kettle, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Add pearl onions; boil for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water; peel and set aside. In the same pan, saute sliced onion, carrot and celery in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Remove vegetables; set aside.
