We can enjoy wine by sipping it or we can add it to the dish and create a wonderful harmony of flavors. It is important to have quality wine and quality groceries. Perutnina Ptuj made sure that we have top-quality chicken, which is a combination of tradition, domestic breeding and controlled production process, as evidenced by numerous quality certificates.
Only premium wine goes well with this type of meal, and this time I chose Tomaz Wines Merlot Silente.

- Arrange the chicken in a deeper pan or shallow pot (whichever you prefer or on hand :), pour sauce over the chicken and add the vegetables and grapes.
- Cover the pan / pot with a lid or aluminum foil that will be secured well around the edges. The foil should not touch the chicken and vegetables (that’s why we need deeper pan)
