Recipe: Sophie's Chicken With Sage Wine Sauce And Lemon Oil Sage Baked Potatoes & Carrots [edit]

Step 1

So, before you are going to prepare dinner, take the potatoes out of the fridge. Preheat the oven to 180° C. ( 356 F ) for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare your lemon oil sage potatoes. Take 2 large oven baking tins & place the potatoes in 1 layer in it. Add the 3 to 4 tablespoons of lemon oil or drizzle more over your potatoes. Add the chopped sage & scatter some sea salt over the top too. Now, with your hands mingle, mix everything carefully together, so that the potatoes are covered with the mix on all sides.

Step 3

Place into the preheated oven on the medium shelf & bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until golden.

Step 4

When the potatoes only need the last 25 minutes, prepare the rest. Cook the carrots with the 3 dried bay leaves in hot boiling water until al dente. This will be after 15 minutes or so. Drain well. Keep warm.

Step 5

Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces well on both sides with sea salt flakes & groundblack pepper. Take a large plate & add the 2 tablespoons of flour. Flour the chicken pieces on all sides & shake off the excess. Heat a large nonstick pan up on medium high & add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the baking margarine. When hot & sizzling, add the chopped sage & fry for 1 minute. Stir from time to time. Then, add the chicken pieces. Fry on both sides until golden brown & cooked trough. Remove the chicken from the pan & place on a large plate. Place aluminum foil over the top to let the chicken rest & to keep it warm.

Step 6

Heat the same pan on a higher heat. Add some tablespoons of baking margarine & let it melt. Now, you add the wine & the chicken stock at the same time. Let it all reduce. Stir from time to time. Now, the house smells great!! When it is reduced for 1/3, I add 1 tablespoon of the Maïzena express ( cornstarch ) to the sauce in the pan. Let it boil for 1 minute or so & whisk well. If the sauce doesn't is the right consistency, I add another tablespoon of the cornstarch. Whisk well & boil for another minute. Taste the sauce. It has to taste fab! Add more S & P if necessary.

Step 7

Now, take your plates & plate up! Enjoy!!
