This succulent chicken recipe came to The Times from Amanda Hesser in 2003, but it’s as timeless as they come. Here, riesling lifts a rich cream sauce, while mushrooms add a distinct earthiness. Make it on a weeknight when you have a little more time to spend in the kitchen, and want something special on the table. Your loved ones will thank you.
03Transfer chicken to a plate, and pour pan juices into a bowl. Return pan to medium heat, and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When it foams, add onion and sauté until translucent. Add riesling and bring to a boil, reducing by half. Add 1/2 cup of cooking juices, and reduce by half.
04Add cream and simmer for 3 minutes. Return chicken to pan, and add mushrooms. Simmer, basting, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
