I have a chicken casserole recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of white wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker and I really don't want to go out and buy a whole bottle of wine for just this one recipe. If anybody can help me that would be great. Thanks so much!

In my former marriage, a family member was a recovering alcoholic. We used 7-Up as an alcohol substitute for almost everything. It will cut the oil which is sometimes what alcohol is doing (like in sauteed mushrooms).

OK as a professional chef i'm gonna tell you flat out that you shouldn't substitute anything, the wine is not only adding a tart taste but adds a certain texture. You can go to a liquor store and get a cheap white wine for like $3-4, trust me it's worth the buy. If you dont think you'll use it all save it for a future recipie or next time you make this casserole. Another option would be just to give it to someone who does like it as a friendly gesture.

It won't taste the same, but you could probably use chicken broth instead of the wine. A better substitution, in my opinion, would be half chicken broth and half dry sherry. You'd still have to buy a whole bottle of sherry, but it keeps forever. Get a bottle of a California sherry like Christian Brothers. Don't get anything labeled "cooking sherry" or "cooking wine".

Apple juice, chicken broth or buy a small bottle of cooking wine.

Use an equal amount of apple or white grape juice or chicken broth. To achieve the "tartness" that wine would lend also add a half teaspoon of white vinegar. Bon Appetit!

You can substitute chicken broth or water.
You just won't that extra touch and flavor that wine gives it.

Chicken broth would be the best choice or maybe cream of chicken soup.
