Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet (with lid) over high heat. Add chicken skin side down and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove chicken from skillet. Drain excess fat from skillet (do not wipe).\nReduce heat to medium high. Melt butter then add garlic and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until softened, then add bacon. Cook until golden.\nAdd wine. Bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Simmer for 2 minutes.\nAdd chicken broth, thyme and return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Cover with lid or foil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes, covered, then remove the lid and bake for a further 15 minutes to recrisp the skin. The chicken should be very tender.\nRemove chicken or move to side. Stir cream into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.\nGarnish with plenty of parsley. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Mine are pictured with\nGlazed Carrots\n.\n1. I used most of 1 chicken, cut into pieces. Bone in thigh fillets and drumsticks are ideal. Breast isn’t the best for this because it’s so lean and this is a slow cooked dish. Wings are too small and will overcook.\n2. Use a decent quality drinking wine that isn’t too woody or sweet. Avoid: woody chardonnay’s and sweet resiling. Sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and semillons are usually pretty safe bets.\n3. To make this without wine, substitute the white wine with 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water + 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.\n4. Adapted from Nigel Slater’s “Real Food” cookbook.\n5.

This is very French-country-chic! 🙂\n\n### Ingredients\n- ▢\n  1 tbsp olive oil\n- ▢\n  2\\.5 lb \/ 1.2 kg  chicken pieces , bone in thigh & drumsticks are ideal (Note 1)\n- ▢\n  1 tbsp \/ 15g \/ 0.5 oz butter\n- ▢\n  3 garlic cloves , crushed\n- ▢\n  1 onion (brown, white, yellow), finely chopped (~1 cup)\n- ▢\n  5 oz \/ 150 g  bacon , diced\n- ▢\n  2 cups \/ 500 ml  dry white wine (Note 2)\n- ▢\n  1 cup \/ 250 ml chicken broth \/ stock or water\n- ▢\n  2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried)\n- ▢\n  3\/4 cup \/ 185 ml   cream (pouring or heavy cream, but not low fat cream)\n\n#### Garnish\n- ▢\n  Finely chopped parsley\n\nCook Mode\n\nPrevent screen from sleeping\n\n### Instructions\n- Preheat oven to 180C\/350F.\n- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet (with lid) over high heat. Add chicken skin side down and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove chicken from skillet. Drain excess fat from skillet (do not wipe).\n- Reduce heat to medium high. Melt butter then add garlic and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until softened, then add bacon. Cook until golden.\n- Add wine. Bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Simmer for 2 minutes.\n- Add chicken broth, thyme and return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Cover with lid or foil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes, covered, then remove the lid and bake for a further 15 minutes to recrisp the skin. The chicken should be very tender.\n- Remove chicken or move to side. Stir cream into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.\n- Garnish with plenty of parsley. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Mine are pictured with [Glazed Carrots](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/glazed-stovetop-carrots\/).\n\n### Recipe Notes:\n1\\. I used most of 1 chicken, cut into pieces. Bone in thigh fillets and drumsticks are ideal. Breast isn’t the best for this because it’s so lean and this is a slow cooked dish. Wings are too small and will overcook.\n\n2\\. Use a decent quality drinking wine that isn’t too woody or sweet. Avoid: woody chardonnay’s and sweet resiling. Sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and semillons are usually pretty safe bets.\n\n3\\. To make this without wine, substitute the white wine with 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water + 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.\n\n4\\. Adapted from Nigel Slater’s “Real Food” cookbook.\n\n5\\. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 servings. This estimates that 2 tbsp of chicken fate is rendered out and discarded. If you use turkey bacon, it reduces to 535 calories or if you omit the bacon altogether, it reduces to 496 calories.\n\n![Chicken White Wine Cream Sauce Nutrition](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2016\/05\/Chicken-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce-Nutrition.png)\n\n### Nutrition Information:\nServing: 399gCalories: 659cal (33%)Carbohydrates: 7g (2%)Protein: 66\\.9g (134%)Fat: 31\\.1g (48%)Saturated Fat: 10\\.2g (64%)Cholesterol: 222mg (74%)Sodium: 888mg (39%)Potassium: 718mg (21%)Fiber: 0\\.7g (3%)Sugar: 2\\.4g (3%)Vitamin A: 250IU (5%)Vitamin C: 3\\.3mg (4%)Calcium: 60mg (6%)Iron: 4\\.1mg (23%)\n\nDid you make this recipe?I love hearing how you went with my recipes!

I skipped the butter and instead cooked my onions and garlic in the chicken fat left in the pan. I also trimmed my bacon down a lot to let the pork flavor through. Used a cheap sauvignon blanc.\n    \n    I turned my oven up to 375 because my pan only fit on the bottom rack. When I pulled the pan from the oven, the dish smelled so good that I was reluctant to add the cream. I decided to serve without, and though the sauce was the consistency of a jus, toasted French bread soaked everything up.\n    \n    Served with a side of your garlic green beans to add color to the table, and the rest of the white wine.

Very French-country-chic. 😉 And the sauce…..the sauce is ridiculously good. This is totally the sort of thing I make for company during the cooler months because it’s one of those meals that’s a crowd pleaser, can be prepped in advance then popped in the oven and left without checking on it. Low risk cooking that tastes fabulous – I like\! ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_4-680x952.jpg) ## Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce If I have a dinner party anytime during June – August (winter here in Sydney), chances are that I’ll make something like this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce. I know some people like to serve much more refined food for company. Sous vide fish, confit, and other posh food you find at fine dining restaurants. While learning and trying new techniques interests me, it is not the way I cook on a day to day basis. I could never work in a fine dining restaurant. I simply don’t have the genes for precision and plating up using tweezers. I have much admiration for those who do, and I’m very fortunate to have dined at some of the top restaurants not just here in Sydney, but in the world. And I learn and admire chefs like Thomas Kellar of Per Se and French Laundry, Tetsuya, Matt Moran, Neil Perry, Guillaume – to name a few. “Serious” chefs\! But for me personally? This is more “my type” of food. Hearty. Want to reach through the screen, lick-the-plate type food. 🙂 ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_6-680x1018.jpg) This Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce (with BACON because it makes everything better!!) is a variation of a recipe I shared in this month’s Super Food Ideas magazine, Australia’s top selling food magazine. Honestly, every time I go to the supermarket and see the magazine there, I can’t help grinning like a fool. It’s been almost a year since I started my monthly features in Super Food Ideas, and it still makes me do a little jiggy every time the latest issue appears in my letterbox\! ![Super-Food-Ideas-Chicken Breast Feature](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Super-Food-Ideas-680x636.jpg) This Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce is adapted from a recipe by Nigel Slater, from his cookbook “Real Food”. His sauce is much richer – he uses more than twice as much cream as me and no chicken broth. I made the original then cut back on the cream to adjust to my taste. I honestly find that this sauce is rich enough, and the addition of chicken broth adds even more flavour into this sauce. White wine is key in this! Wine and alcohol generally adds a wonderful complexity to sauces that cannot be completely replicated by using just broth. But I understand that for religious or other personal choices, some people cannot cook with wine so I have included notes for how to make this without wine. ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_Images2-680x486.jpg) I served this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce with [Stovetop Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/) because it’s faster than roasting and I forgot to put the carrots into the oven. 🙂 Plus you get better caramelisation on the carrots when they’re made on the stove. And it’s useful for those times when your oven is jam packed with other things (this is a life saver for Thanksgiving and Christmas). [![Stovetop Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_7-680x486.jpg)](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/) Chicken + Bacon + Creamy Sauce + Creamy mashed potato. Pretty hard to go wrong with that combination, don’t you think? 🙂 *– Nagi x* ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender.

So simple to make, the key to this recipe is the white wine which transforms into an incredible broth by braising the chicken slowly in it so the chicken is incredibly tender. This is very French-country-chic! 🙂 ### Ingredients - ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil - ▢ 2\.5 lb / 1.2 kg chicken pieces , bone in thigh & drumsticks are ideal (Note 1) - ▢ 1 tbsp / 15g / 0.5 oz butter - ▢ 3 garlic cloves , crushed - ▢ 1 onion (brown, white, yellow), finely chopped (~1 cup) - ▢ 5 oz / 150 g bacon , diced - ▢ 2 cups / 500 ml dry white wine (Note 2) - ▢ 1 cup / 250 ml chicken broth / stock or water - ▢ 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried) - ▢ 3/4 cup / 185 ml cream (pouring or heavy cream, but not low fat cream) #### Garnish - ▢ Finely chopped parsley Cook Mode Prevent screen from sleeping ### Instructions - Preheat oven to 180C/350F. - Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet (with lid) over high heat. Add chicken skin side down and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove chicken from skillet. Drain excess fat from skillet (do not wipe). - Reduce heat to medium high. Melt butter then add garlic and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until softened, then add bacon. Cook until golden. - Add wine. Bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Simmer for 2 minutes. - Add chicken broth, thyme and return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Cover with lid or foil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes, covered, then remove the lid and bake for a further 15 minutes to recrisp the skin. The chicken should be very tender. - Remove chicken or move to side. Stir cream into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. - Garnish with plenty of parsley. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Mine are pictured with [Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/). ### Recipe Notes: 1\. I used most of 1 chicken, cut into pieces. Bone in thigh fillets and drumsticks are ideal. Breast isn’t the best for this because it’s so lean and this is a slow cooked dish. Wings are too small and will overcook. 2\. Use a decent quality drinking wine that isn’t too woody or sweet. Avoid: woody chardonnay’s and sweet resiling. Sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and semillons are usually pretty safe bets. 3\. To make this without wine, substitute the white wine with 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water + 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. 4\. Adapted from Nigel Slater’s “Real Food” cookbook. 5\. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 servings. This estimates that 2 tbsp of chicken fate is rendered out and discarded. If you use turkey bacon, it reduces to 535 calories or if you omit the bacon altogether, it reduces to 496 calories. ![Chicken White Wine Cream Sauce Nutrition](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/05/Chicken-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce-Nutrition.png) ### Nutrition Information: Serving: 399gCalories: 659cal (33%)Carbohydrates: 7g (2%)Protein: 66\.9g (134%)Fat: 31\.1g (48%)Saturated Fat: 10\.2g (64%)Cholesterol: 222mg (74%)Sodium: 888mg (39%)Potassium: 718mg (21%)Fiber: 0\.7g (3%)Sugar: 2\.4g (3%)Vitamin A: 250IU (5%)Vitamin C: 3\.3mg (4%)Calcium: 60mg (6%)Iron: 4\.1mg (23%) Did you make this recipe?I love hearing how you went with my recipes!

I skipped the butter and instead cooked my onions and garlic in the chicken fat left in the pan. I also trimmed my bacon down a lot to let the pork flavor through. Used a cheap sauvignon blanc. I turned my oven up to 375 because my pan only fit on the bottom rack. When I pulled the pan from the oven, the dish smelled so good that I was reluctant to add the cream. I decided to serve without, and though the sauce was the consistency of a jus, toasted French bread soaked everything up. Served with a side of your garlic green beans to add color to the table, and the rest of the white wine. Just lovely.

Readable Markdown	If you like creamy sauces and bacon (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce is for YOU!! Very French-country-chic. 😉 And the sauce…..the sauce is ridiculously good. This is totally the sort of thing I make for company during the cooler months because it’s one of those meals that’s a crowd pleaser, can be prepped in advance then popped in the oven and left without checking on it. Low risk cooking that tastes fabulous – I like\! ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_4-680x952.jpg) If I have a dinner party anytime during June – August (winter here in Sydney), chances are that I’ll make something like this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce. I know some people like to serve much more refined food for company. Sous vide fish, confit, and other posh food you find at fine dining restaurants. While learning and trying new techniques interests me, it is not the way I cook on a day to day basis. I could never work in a fine dining restaurant. I simply don’t have the genes for precision and plating up using tweezers. I have much admiration for those who do, and I’m very fortunate to have dined at some of the top restaurants not just here in Sydney, but in the world. And I learn and admire chefs like Thomas Kellar of Per Se and French Laundry, Tetsuya, Matt Moran, Neil Perry, Guillaume – to name a few. “Serious” chefs\! But for me personally? This is more “my type” of food. Hearty. Want to reach through the screen, lick-the-plate type food. 🙂 ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_6-680x1018.jpg) This Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce (with BACON because it makes everything better!!) is a variation of a recipe I shared in this month’s Super Food Ideas magazine, Australia’s top selling food magazine. Honestly, every time I go to the supermarket and see the magazine there, I can’t help grinning like a fool. It’s been almost a year since I started my monthly features in Super Food Ideas, and it still makes me do a little jiggy every time the latest issue appears in my letterbox\! ![Super-Food-Ideas-Chicken Breast Feature](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Super-Food-Ideas-680x636.jpg) This Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce is adapted from a recipe by Nigel Slater, from his cookbook “Real Food”. His sauce is much richer – he uses more than twice as much cream as me and no chicken broth. I made the original then cut back on the cream to adjust to my taste. I honestly find that this sauce is rich enough, and the addition of chicken broth adds even more flavour into this sauce. White wine is key in this! Wine and alcohol generally adds a wonderful complexity to sauces that cannot be completely replicated by using just broth. But I understand that for religious or other personal choices, some people cannot cook with wine so I have included notes for how to make this without wine. ![Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce - So easy to prepare, then just let it braise in the oven until the chicken is tender. The sauce is incredible! recipetineats.com](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_Images2-680x486.jpg) I served this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce with [Stovetop Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/) because it’s faster than roasting and I forgot to put the carrots into the oven. 🙂 Plus you get better caramelisation on the carrots when they’re made on the stove. And it’s useful for those times when your oven is jam packed with other things (this is a life saver for Thanksgiving and Christmas). [![Stovetop Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/07/Chicken-with-Bacon-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce_7-680x486.jpg)](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/) Chicken + Bacon + Creamy Sauce + Creamy mashed potato.

Servings4 \-5 Tap or hover to scale Chicken in a creamy white wine sauce – comfort food and it’s finest! So simple to make, the key to this recipe is the white wine which transforms into an incredible broth by braising the chicken slowly in it so the chicken is incredibly tender. This is very French-country-chic! 🙂 - ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil - ▢ 2\.5 lb / 1.2 kg chicken pieces , bone in thigh & drumsticks are ideal (Note 1) - ▢ 1 tbsp / 15g / 0.5 oz butter - ▢ 3 garlic cloves , crushed - ▢ 1 onion (brown, white, yellow), finely chopped (~1 cup) - ▢ 5 oz / 150 g bacon , diced - ▢ 2 cups / 500 ml dry white wine (Note 2) - ▢ 1 cup / 250 ml chicken broth / stock or water - ▢ 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried) - ▢ 3/4 cup / 185 ml cream (pouring or heavy cream, but not low fat cream) #### Garnish - ▢ Finely chopped parsley - Preheat oven to 180C/350F. - Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an ovenproof skillet (with lid) over high heat. Add chicken skin side down and cook until golden brown, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute. Remove chicken from skillet. Drain excess fat from skillet (do not wipe). - Reduce heat to medium high. Melt butter then add garlic and onion. Cook for 3 minutes until softened, then add bacon. Cook until golden. - Add wine. Bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix the brown bits into the liquid. Simmer for 2 minutes. - Add chicken broth, thyme and return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. Cover with lid or foil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 60 minutes, covered, then remove the lid and bake for a further 15 minutes to recrisp the skin. The chicken should be very tender. - Remove chicken or move to side. Stir cream into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. - Garnish with plenty of parsley. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Mine are pictured with [Glazed Carrots](https://www.recipetineats.com/glazed-stovetop-carrots/). 1\. I used most of 1 chicken, cut into pieces. Bone in thigh fillets and drumsticks are ideal. Breast isn’t the best for this because it’s so lean and this is a slow cooked dish. Wings are too small and will overcook. 2\. Use a decent quality drinking wine that isn’t too woody or sweet. Avoid: woody chardonnay’s and sweet resiling. Sauvignon blanc, pinot gris and semillons are usually pretty safe bets. 3\. To make this without wine, substitute the white wine with 1 cup chicken broth and 1 cup water + 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. 4\. Adapted from Nigel Slater’s “Real Food” cookbook. 5\. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 servings. This estimates that 2 tbsp of chicken fate is rendered out and discarded. If you use turkey bacon, it reduces to 535 calories or if you omit the bacon altogether, it reduces to 496 calories. ![Chicken White Wine Cream Sauce Nutrition](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2016/05/Chicken-White-Wine-Cream-Sauce-Nutrition.png) Serving: 399gCalories: 659cal (33%)Carbohydrates: 7g (2%)Protein: 66\.9g (134%)Fat: 31\.1g (48%)Saturated Fat: 10\.2g (64%)Cholesterol: 222mg (74%)Sodium: 888mg (39%)Potassium: 718mg (21%)Fiber: 0\.7g (3%)Sugar: 2\.4g (3%)Vitamin A: 250IU (5%)Vitamin C: 3\.3mg (4%)Calcium: 60mg (6%)Iron: 4\.1mg (23%) ## Save this Creamy Chicken in White Wine Sauce to your “BEST RECIPES” Pinterest Board\!
