Advice needed please ?
I made a mushroom and wine sauce with creme fraiche. My husband put the remainder of the chicken into it which I was going to use tomorrow.
Can I safely reheat the sauce and chicken tomorrow or should I bin?

Thanks

I assume the chicken was cooked. If sauce and chicken are kept in fridge in meantime they’ll be fine. Just reheat thoroughly

It was Farmor. Thanks. I thought it might be ok but I needed a second opinion. And where better to ask than GN.

Was the chicken a fresh chicken or a frozen chicken. If it was fresh I’d assume it will be ok. I’m very wary of doing anything that might cause food poisoning at the moment! The wine in it should protect you!

Best to add more wine, just to be on the safe side! wine

It was fresh chicken Maybee thanks.
It was lovely Farmor. Served with basmati roce. I'm not a great cook but I've made this twice and OH loves it. I have to admit I usually buy tinned blush But I'm trying to stay away from processed foods. This was much nicer.

I'd put a teaspoon of cornflour in it (dissolved in a little milk or water) before reheating to stop it separating.

Ps I always reheat for longer than recommended to be on the safe side.

Yes, reheat the chicken thoroughly in wine then stir in the sauce, heat until bubbling.

Sometimes food tastes better when it is matured!
