Wine Pairings by @grapefriend
Hearty Chardonnays that are lightly
oaked with ripe fruit pair well with
simple dishes that are mild, creamy, silky
and buttery.
Beer Pairings
With increased maltiness and prominent
hoppy aroma and flavor, an American
IPA is always a good choice to pair with
creamy dishes.
2. Cook Chicken: Cut chicken into
1-inch pieces. Sprinkle each with ½
teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat 2
teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat. Add
chicken. Sauté 6 to 8 minutes or until
browned and cooked through. Remove
chicken from skillet.
3. Make Pasta Sauce: Add onion to
drippings in skillet. Sauté 4 minutes.
Add garlic. Stir in spinach and ¼
teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook
2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in cream.
Simmer 3 minutes or until sauce is
thickened.
