Darling hubby made this last night. Lovely flavour and consistancy. Next time I think I'll add some mushrooms...


This is on top of my "must try" list Sounds great...Bob


Your recipe 'Breast of chicken in red wine sauce' seems incomplete. You don't state what is to be done with the bacon after it has been fried and broken up. Personally I haven't touched bacon since my father gave me some when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Can someone send me an email explaining what must be done with the bacon? jb2575@gmail.com


Would also like to know what to do with the bacon. And does anyone know how to thicken the sauce without evaporating the wine? by the way - we couldn't find pearl onions, so we used cocktail onions - not a good idea. however, we added garlic to the recipe which was a GREAT idea.


Hi. You sprinkle the bacon over the top before serving. Enjoy


We added it to the sauce and it turned out pretty good. Bacon definitely added a good flavor to the sauce.

If you have to use cocktail onions - don't. But if you are feeling frisky, you may want to add some honey and olive oil to offset the vinegar. it worked well when we did it, but the onions never softened.
