 Substiution for white wine I did chicken piccata last week, and the recipe called for white wine. Of course no alcohol is allowed on the premises where I work. Is there a substitution or an adjustment to the recipe that I should have made? It tasted 'okay', but okay is not good enough for me

| :( bummer.............. Well, I suppose you could use some White Grape Jucie (1/2 & 1/2, water:juice) then hit it with a little white wine vinegar? flash

| Coq au Vin? Not a good idea.... How about non-alcholic or de-alcoholized wine?

| Verjuice is one way to go,It is made from unripened grapes and is not fermented.It is sour like vinager,So I would reduce the amount of lemon you use. Also don't be to alarmed when wine is called for in a recipe,yes it does add a certain flavor profile to the dish but it is not the end of the world if you do not use it. cc

| I was just thinking verjus... I don't find it very sour at all however; maybe it's just the brand that we use, some organic brand from California. It will add a very delicate flavour but with some adjustments to the recipe can easily be adjusted to simulate wine. |

| Thank you! Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. Isa, I actually DID use the chicken stock, but it still wasn't quite what I wanted. It was good, but still lacking something. I am going to try to get the Verjuice.
