  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 6 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup dry Riesling wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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, infusing the dish with earthy flavors.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave to preserve the sauce’s creaminess.
  • For added flavor, garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
