I have food allergies..would it still taste okay without the wine and flour? Or is there an alternative that would taste as good? I can’t have anything fermented… nor can I have stuff with flour in it.
Sure, you can substitute the wine for chicken broth, maybe add a little more lemon, and just skip the flour part. You may want to thicken the sauce (if your diet allows) with cornstarch + water OR arrowroot + water. Enjoy!
What about rice flour? Would that work and taste alright? I lived in a place that had a mold problem..and it caused me to be allergic to so many things. It’s awful.
I think it would be fine, it is mostly to brown the chicken and thicken the sauce. I know what you mean about food allergies, I recently developed and allergy to kiwi of all things!
