3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make This Chicken Riesling Recipe

Preparing the Chicken and Bacon

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook the crispy bacon until golden and crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, then chop into smaller pieces. In the same skillet, add olive oil and sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

Sautéing Mushrooms and Aromatics

Using the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the chopped onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender. This step infuses the dish with earthy flavors that complement the crispy bacon mushrooms and the indulgent sauce.

Deglazing and Simmering

Pour the Riesling wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom to enhance flavor. Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Creating the Delicious Sauce

Remove the chicken and keep warm. Stir in heavy cream into the skillet sauce and cook until thickened. Add the crispy bacon mushrooms back into the sauce for added texture and flavor. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it, and simmer for a few more minutes.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Chicken Riesling Dish

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave. For best results, reheat slowly to preserve the sauce’s creaminess and prevent overcooking the chicken.
