We preface all of our wine pairing suggestions by letting you know that it’s really a matter of personal taste. While we do offer our opinions and why we selected a specific varietal, there is no right or wrong answer when pairing a wine with your dinner.
Sauvignon Blanc
This Mint Chicken recipe, produces tender chicken that is flavored in a buttery sauce with sweet mint and lemon flavors. Given the creaminess of the dish, I would pair it with a Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blancs have a nice minerality and a creamy texture which compliments the dish, without overpowering it.
