How to Make Chicken In A Riesling Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wide-based pot or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook until pale golden brown (about 5 minutes). Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms.
  2. Cook for another 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, and toss to coat evenly. Add the chicken to the pan.
  4. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Pour in 1 cup of dry Riesling wine and add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve over your favorite noodles or pasta.
