Tips for Earl Grey Tea Infused Chicken with Red Wine Sauce

Look for an evenly browned exterior; pale patches can indicate the pan was crowded or not fully hot.
The sauce should lightly coat a spoon. If it becomes too thick, loosen it with a small splash of broth.
Use a small saucepan or skillet that leaves room for the sauce to reduce without spreading into a thin layer.

Drink pairing

A medium-bodied red like a Pinot Noir
Its bright fruit and moderate tannins complement the wine sauce without overpowering the delicate tea aroma.
