Description

This Chicken Riesling recipe features tender chicken breasts cooked with crispy bacon and flavorful cremini mushrooms, all simmered in a creamy Riesling sauce that is sure to impress.

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.
Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Add the mushrooms and Italian seasoning, cooking until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Pour in the Riesling and bring to a simmer. Allow to reduce for 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat, then stir in the heavy cream and return the bacon to the skillet. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the chicken topped with the creamy sauce.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier option.
