Ingredients
  

Chicken and Seasoning
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup Riesling wine or other dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream for richness
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the Riesling wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  2. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  4. Serve hot with rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
