Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry Riesling wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and cutting chicken into bite-sized pieces; slice bacon into small strips.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside, retaining the grease.
- Sear the chicken in the same skillet until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side); remove and set aside.
- Sauté garlic in the bacon grease until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in Riesling wine, scraping up any browned bits; simmer until reduced by half.
- Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and thyme; simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken and bacon to the skillet, coating them in the sauce; heat through for another couple of minutes before serving.
