Answers:
Use chicken broth in place of wine!. Brown your butter and flour, slowly add in chicken stock!. You can add garlic, onions, mushrooms or red peppers to the sauce!. Maybe some salt, pepper and thyme or parsley!.

Next time you go to the liquor store, get a bottle of Sherry!. It is great to use in sauces and keeps in the fridge for years!. You only need a tablespoon or so to add a really nice flavor to sauces!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds to me like you already have the basics to do your sauce!. After you cook the chicken, remove it from the pan, add a little butter, add seasonings, then a little flour (pre-sifted if possible)!. Mix well and add water!. Let it come to a boil and thicken a little!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I make chicken with peppers and onions I usually just add a jigger of balsamic or red wine vinegar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just saute your peppers and onions in a little olive oil until tender they will be great on the chicken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
