What sauce would go with this?

Question

OK, dinner will be ready in about 20 mins and I have just realised I need a sauce to go with Chicken breasts stuffed with feta and spinach, garlic and saffron mash and green beans. Any ideas?

Oh the sauce cannot have cream in it ............

Answer 1

I would say lemon, garlic butter just melt the butter down and add a little lemon or orange juice to it and some garlic if you use lemon juice and drizzle it over the chicken. Yummy sounds great!

Answer 2

How about a balsamic reduction? Mash some garlic and add it to a hot pan with some red pepper flakes and a tsp of olive oil. Brown the garlic and add balsamic vinegar and red wine and reduce until a glaze forms. You might want to add some sugar, but not much. That seems like an ambitious meal, so you sound like you would be comfortable playing around with the idea until it tastes right, but if you would prefer a recipe, go to foodtv.com and search for balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction. I think it would go well with the feta and spinach. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

If you can use the pan that the chicken was made in then do.

2 tbsps of butter
2 cups of chicken broth
1 tbsps of lemon juice (or half a fresh lemon)
1/2 cup of white wine
a dash of garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan and let simmer until they thicken.
If you need to have a thicker sauce without using cream then make a rou (i have no clue how its spelled sorry lol)

Just take 2 more tbsps of butter melt it and add half a cup of flour to it. COOK THRROUGHLY FOR ATLEAST A FEW MINUTES until its a rich deep gold color and taste it to make sure they flour is completely cooked through so your sauce doesn't taste like dry flour. then slowly add the first mixture to it and you will have a delicious and thick sauce that goes well on just about anything.

Answer 4

How about a lemon caper sauce? The lemon would go well with the feta and spinach.

Answer 5

Lemon juice, olive oil, oregano. Makes a nice greek dressing and should work here. Spice it up with black pepper, if you like.

Answer 6

I'd use some "Prego" spaghetti sauce. Believe me it would taste great! Good Luck!!

Answer 7

butter
dry sherry
basil
garlic
since you can't use cream try a little corn starch to thicken.
good luck

Answer 8

Béchamel Sauce
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 small onion studded with 2 Or 3 cloves, optional
1 small bay leaf
dash dried leaf thyme, crumbled
salt and white pepper to taste
nutmeg, to taste

In a medium heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat. When butter starts to foam, add the flour all at once, mixing well with a wooden spoon. Cook over low heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly to incorporate and cook flour. Remove pan from heat and let stand, up to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, scald milk (heating it until just below boiling point).
Return saucepan with roux to medium-low heat. Add all of the scalded milk at once (to avoid the formation of lumps). Simmer, stirring gently with a wire whisk or wooden spoon. Add studded onion, bay leaf and thyme sprig. Cook, stirring, over low heat, 15 to 20 minutes, until smooth and thickened. Strain sauce through fine-mesh strainer. Add salt, white pepper and nutmeg to taste. Makes about 2 cups.
