Equipment
  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 wooden spoon
Ingredients
  
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 125 g pancetta sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup dry Riesling wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
 
  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    You can opt for chicken thighs or breasts, depending on your preference.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
    Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, and once it is heated, add the seasoned chicken pieces.
    Cook until they turn golden brown on both sides.
    Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and pancetta.
    Cook until the onions become translucent and the pancetta starts to get crispy.
    Use a wooden spoon to stir and scrape the pieces off the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
    Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
  • Pour in the dry Riesling wine and chicken broth into the skillet.
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
    Allow the wine and broth to reduce by half, which will take about 10 minutes.
  • Mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a small amount of water to make a paste.
    Add this flour paste into the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
    Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
    Season the sauce with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sauce, ensuring that it is well coated.
    Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the Chicken Riesling with fresh parsley.
    Serve it alongside your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, and enjoy this classic, hearty meal from the Cheesecake Factory.
