👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Dredging the chicken in flour helps to thicken the sauce and create a better sear. - 2
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Browning the chicken in batches ensures a good sear without overcrowding the pan. - 3
Add the sliced onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Cooking the onions and mushrooms separately builds layers of flavor. - 4
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the Riesling wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Deglazing the pot with wine captures all the flavorful fond from the chicken and vegetables. - 5
Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Simmering gently ensures the chicken remains moist and tender. - 6
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Adding cream at the end enriches the sauce without curdling. - 7
Serve the chicken hot, spooning the creamy Riesling sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This dish pairs well with boiled potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For an even richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
- ✓If you don't have Riesling, a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc can be used.
- ✓Ensure the chicken is cooked through; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
