Summer is always a great time to get together with family and friends and just enjoy each other’s company. Cookouts are easy, fun and are relaxing way to spend time together enjoying a meal on the weekends. Sometimes however, the weather doesn’t cooperate. Pop up thunderstorms can put a damper on your get together plans, but don’t let that stop you from entertaining!
This simple Chicken Romano in Wine Sauce is a delicious dinner entree that you can serve for a nice Sunday dinner or even a casual get together. This moist and flavorful chicken is made in one skillet for easy clean up, takes only 30 minutes to make, including cooking time and is perfect served with all of your favorite fresh summer fruits and vegetables. The wine sauce only adds to the flavor and is sure to please your family and guests. I just love CK Mondavi Chardonnay in this dish. Their Chardonnay is medium-bodied with a hint of oak. Aromas of lemon and citrus combined with flavors of apple and pear lead to a delightfully crisp finish. It’s a very refreshing wine on its own, but this Chardonnay is wonderful with roasted chicken, seafood, hearty cheeses and pastas with cream sauce.
CK Mondavi Wines are the only American made and grown wines in the “supermarket wine under $10” category. Established in the 1940s, CK Mondavi remains a family- owned business that has thrived for four generations to produce fine wines. Not only is it the only wine in this price point to be 100% American made & grown, but a percentage of sales goes to supporting veterans.
A percentage of each bottle of wine sold between May – August will be donated to Intrepid Fallen Heroes (up to $50,000). This really spoke to me because my grandparents, aunts, uncles and my brother have all served this country. The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF), is an organization that supports the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families. It’s funded entirely by public donations, and IFHF serves U.S. military personnel wounded or killed in service to our nation and their families. For more information, you can visit www.fallenheroesfund.org.
This meal is really satisfying and is on the lighter side. If your are watching what your eat this summer, don’t give up flavor in your food! This tasty Chicken Romano is definitely a keeper!
Whether you are making a special dish, or just getting together for a nice glass of wine in the evening, give these great tasting wines a try. Don’t forget to grab a few bottles of your favorite CK Mondavi Wine to make your Fourth of July Celebration special and to support those who fight for our freedom every day!
The newest addition to the CK Mondavi wine family is their Blonde Five. Available in stores nationwide in August, this wine is light with aromas of honeysuckle and pear. Luscious flavors of baked apple, honey and lemon zest give this ‘blonde’ a refreshing finish on the pallet. It’s also a perfect accompaniment to grilled shrimp, spicy chicken and mild cheeses. Look for it in your area soon!

Thank you so much Vanesa! I’m really glad you liked it! Have a great evening. 🙂
Looks delicious! Wanted to try this tonight… Do you leave the chicken in after its browned? Or take it out for the sauce
Thanks Mandee! I just leave the chicken in the pan, the sauce isn’t thick or anything, but it adds so much moisture to the chicken. I hope you like it:)
This looks simple and delicious! What a great charity Mondavi is joining with, thanks for letting us know.
