what-i-cooked: chicken-in-wine-sauce and scalloped-potatoes

my mom used to make chicken in wine sauce when i was little and i always loved how the house smelled while it was cooking and always couldn't believe she was letting me drink wine (little did i know the alcohol was actually cooked off).  i attempted re-creating her recipe tonight which is super easy to make and perfect for a week night meal.
i chose to pair this with some tasty scalloped potatoes and posted my recipes below:
chicken in wine sauce (serves 2 but can be easily doubled)
ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
salt 
pepper
chardonnay
oregano
1 roma tomato
bacon (pre-cooked)
evoo

directions:
first pre-heat the oven to 375 and then rid your chicken breasts of all the gross white parts.  pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then sprinkle with salt and pepper before lightly browning on both sides (3 minutes) in a warmed saucepan with one swirl of evoo over medium heat. once the edges are lightly browned, transfer to a glass baking dish and layer each slice with two pieces of bacon-making an x, top with two slices of roma tomatoes and then pour wine in the pan until it reaches the same depth as the chicken breasts and sprinkle liberally with dried oregano.  place in the oven for 45 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.

scalloped-potatoes (serves 2):
ingredients:
2 potatoes ( i used one large red and one large yukon gold)
1.5 tablespoons butter
1 and 1/4 cups water
grated and shaved parmesan
1 tsp salt
1 tsp peper


directions:
pre-heat the oven to 375.  thinly slice the potatoes into scallops and then layer on the bottom of a glass baking dish, place the butter on top and season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.  cover the potatoes with the grated parmesan first and then shaved parmesan second.  then pour the hot water on top and place in the pre-heated oven for 30-45 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. enjoy!
