This post is in partnership with Holland House – thank you for supporting Rachel Cooks by reading about brands I use in my own kitchen!

I know I say, “Winner, winner, chicken dinner” fairly often. I can’t help myself, as much as I wish I could. But this one? WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER. It’s SO good.

I mean, bacon, leeks, mushrooms, white cooking wine, cream…how do you go wrong? The sauce is so good, I could swim in it. Ben loooooves this — seriously one of his favorites in awhile! It’s a classy dish without being snooty or hard to prepare. This white wine chicken is the kind of chicken recipe that will be a total crowd pleaser, unless you don’t like mushrooms.  But if you don’t like mushrooms, I don’t want to associate with you.

Just kidding, I love all of you, no matter your opinion on mushrooms.

Best part is, it’s all made in one skillet. I told you I’d be coming strong with the one pan meals this month. Less dishes, more time to socialize with your guests. Or your family, because this meal transitions smoothly from entertaining to family dinners.

I love using wine when I cook because it adds such a sophisticated layer of flavor. It really kicks recipes up a notch and this recipe is no different. I use Holland House White Cooking Wine, which is the perfect addition to a cream sauce or to a chicken recipe. Or in this case, both!

Further proof, if you need it: This chicken and spinach pasta with lemon cream sauce or chicken with creamy Dijon mustard sauce). Another one of my favorite recipes is classic chicken fricassee with a creamy lemon dill sauce.

You can, of course, use any of your favorite dry white wines such as chardonnay, dry riesling, sauvignon blanc, or pinot grigio for any of these sauces. I’d avoid sweet white wine, such as moscato or sweet riesling, as it will alter the taste.

What to Pair with this White Wine Chicken

This recipe is fantastic paired with a green salad (try kale salad with pomegranate and orange or this salad with apples and cucumbers). Or serve it with a side of simple pasta. Angel hair pasta with some butter, olive oil, and a ton of fresh herbs is great served with this skillet chicken with mushrooms and white wine. Keep it simple, not only for your own sanity, but also to really let this chicken shine, because it certainly does just that.

PS: You cook the leeks in bacon grease. You’re welcome.

This White Wine Chicken with Mushrooms, Bacon and Leeks is creamy, rich and so easy to make! Perfect for entertaining or every day dining.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 20 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 slices center cut bacon (2-3 ounces), chopped
  • 1 large leek, sliced into thin half moons (white and light green parts) and washed thoroughly
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 8 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking for an additional 8 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove to a plate.
  • To the pan, add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate, keeping grease in pan.
  • Add leeks to bacon grease and cook until starting to soften. Add mushrooms and continue to stir and cook until mushrooms are browned and cooked. Add Holland House White Cooking Wine and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until liquid is reduced by about half.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer until thickened, then add chicken and bacon back to the pan. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure to wash your leeks really well – they hide a lot of dirt! If you’re unfamiliar with how to do this, this is a really helpful video. I have my kids help — they love swishing the leeks in the water.
  • If you need to reheat leftovers, the best method is to return to a skillet and heat, covered, on medium-low heat until heated through. The microwave is not this recipe’s friend.

    I made this but I cut my chicken breasts into strips to cook, added thawed frozen peas and diced red pepper to the dish as well for colour and flavor and also added fresh thyme. Was good, will make again and change up the herbs a bit.

    I know you posted this recipe quite a while ago but I recently found it and tried it tonight. It was a huge hit with everyone in the family. We loved it. My husband and son both declared it a keeper recipe! Thank you! We used a white wine from our local wine region and it was fantastic!
