What to use in place of white wine in this recipe?

Question

Mushroom Chicken:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. dry chicken gravy mix
1 sm can cream of mushroom or chicken soup
(1 cup white wine)
8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened

Going in crock pot, I just don't want to use the wine...what else would substitute for that?

Answer 1

Chicken broth or apple juice are the usual substitutes. Apple juice does give an amazing flavor.

Answer 2

To be honest I think you really don't need to worry about omitting the wine and I would just add water instead. It looks like it is needed to combine the dry gravy mix with the two thicker ingredients of cream cheese and the creamed soups.

Answer 3

Chicken broth is a good substitute for white wine.

FYI, when wine reduces, such as in this recipe, the alcohol evaporates. You end up with a great flavor.

Answer 4

You can substitute anything you want for the wine. Milk, or even water would work. The wine is only for flavoring. Go ahead and replace it with something else.

Answer 5

Water or chicken broth are common replacements for white wine.

Answer 6

just use water it will still have good flavor because of the gravy mix and soup

the wine just adds an essence you can't really get with anything else

Answer 7

Apple juice is the best because is sweet. Don't put anything that is salty. Most recipes that ask for white wine say "or apple juice".

Answer 8

Go for a good quality chicken stock.

Answer 9

If you're trying to not use alcohol, I sugest rice vinegar, or white grape juice. IF you want to use alcohol, but not wine, try using
vodka.
