"Everybody loves this simple and delicious chicken. If you don't have white Zinfandel available, you can use another wine, whiskey, bourbon, or even balsamic vinegar. This recipe is very versatile!" — BSHIPP

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 cup white Zinfandel wine
Great recipe, we will make this one again. I did use 1/2 cup White Zinfandel in the marinate, I also added another 1/2 cup White Zinfandel prior to reducing. Next time I will try adding some mushrooms for something a little extra.
Good, but not great. At least in comparison to the many of other flavorful recipes I've found on here. Easy to make, though, so if I needed something last-minute, this is a decent choice.

Excellent! I made with balsamic vinegar instead of wine, and it was delicious! I actually marinated my chicken a lot longer--about 4 hours--and used the BV in the marinade ... I then used the marinade when cooking the chicken and onions (I didn't have shallots, so I used white onions) ... it made the most yummy sauce! Served over wild rice ... will definitely be preparing again! Thanks!
I really enjoyed this recipe it's very refreshing a good summer recipe for the grill!!What I did is used the wine in the marinade and also omitted the sesame oil and used olive oil. I also chopped some fresh parsley instead of shallots and put it in the marinade. I let it sit for about an hour. I cooked the chicken on the stove until it was almost done and then I added the marinade to it and let it cook for about 5-10 min longer. At the end I put it in the broiler for a few min on each side to get it a little crunchy on the outside.
I really enjoyed this recipe. It was very quick and quite flavorful. I didn't have the sesame oil so I used olive oil, and I included some of the wine in the marinade. My husband and I both loved it. Thanks a bunch!
Ok I know I am going to upset alot of people but....this is agreat recipe to use as a guide then modify as needed. THis is what I did tonight: used olive oil instead of sesame oil; fresh rosemary instead of dried(hey I have it growing all around me) no thyme so I used tarragon; used sherry instead of wine( in marinade too); used onions. It was great!!!!! Will make again!!!!
Overall a great recipe, will make again. I followed the advise of the other reviewers and added the wine into the marinade and let is soak for an hour. I also used white onions instead of shallots and added a little extra wine while on the skillet. Served it over a bed of rice,
This recipe is awesome. I told some of my family members about this recipe and now there cooking it, everyone just loves it!

This zesty white-bean chili packs some heat!
A flavorful chili that’s a little lighter and less fatty.
