Description
Chicken Riesling is a delectable dish combining tender chicken breasts with a creamy sauce infused with the rich flavors of mushrooms and a splash of Riesling wine, all brought together by the savory essence of bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 strips bacon cut into small pieces
- 2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 7 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup Riesling
- 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the floured chicken. Sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they are tender. Stir in the Italian seasoning and minced garlic, cooking for another minute.
- Pour in the Riesling wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Return the chicken and cooked bacon to the skillet, coating everything in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice before serving or garnish with fresh herbs.
