Ingredients
– 1 tbsp olive oil (optional if bacon is fatty)
– 1 finely chopped onion
– 4-5 strips of bacon or pancetta, chopped
– 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
– 8 chicken pieces on the bone (thighs and legs)
– 250g (2 cups) cremini mushrooms, whole or halved
– 500ml (2β cups) dry white wine (such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, or dry Riesling)
– 250ml (1 cup) double or whipping cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
1-First, heat the olive oil in a pan if your bacon needs it, then cook the bacon until it’s crispy and set it aside. Next, season and brown the chicken pieces in the same pan for that flavorful base. Once done, soften the onion and garlic before adding them back with the other ingredients.
2-Prepare all ingredients by trimming chicken and cleaning vegetables; gather white wine, broth, and seasonings. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown chicken thighs until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and sautΓ© onions, garlic, and mushrooms in the same skillet until softened, approximately 7 minutes.
3-Bringing It All Together: Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the white wine, and let it simmer to blend the flavors. This step is where the magic happens, as the wine tenderizes the chicken and creates that creamy sauce. Stir in the cream towards the end for a silky finish, and garnish with parsley for a fresh touch.
4-Finally, simmer everything uncovered on low heat for about 40 minutes, then add cream and cook for another 10 minutes. The total time is around 1 hour, and it pairs nicely with sides like mashed potatoes or rice.
