Tips and Tricks
Prep all the ingredients before you start cooking to make the process smoother. Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables and chicken. To make the dish more flavorful, marinate the chicken in the red wine for a few hours before cooking. Use a good quality wine for best results. To save time, you can cook the bacon in the oven while prepping the other ingredients.Nutrition
