Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- Be sure to use a large skillet with deep sides so all the ingredients fit nicely into the skillet
- Prefer not to use alcohol? You can easily leave the red wine out of the recipe although it does add a depth of flavor to the sauce
Substitutions
- Feel free to substitute boneless chicken thighs for the boneless chicken breasts
- You can use dried basil in place of the dried Italian seasoning
- Substitute 2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar in place of the ¼ cup of red wine
