Creamy Champagne Chicken image

I received this recipe from a trained chef that I worked with in college. I was in the kitchen the night he prepared it for a fancy Valentine's Day banquet for students. The sauce is savory and especially good made with pink champagne. Served with wild rice pilaf and roasted vegetables it is a perfect recipe for special guests or a romantic evening in.
