Description

This elegant yet simple main course features tender pan-seared chicken thighs or breasts nestled in a luxurious, light sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the foam subsides.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides for about 8 minutes, until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced shallot and garlic to the remaining fat in the skillet.
  6. Cook the shallot and garlic, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the shallot mixture and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  8. Pour in the Riesling wine, stirring continuously to deglaze the pan and incorporate any browned bits.
  9. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and crumbled thyme, stirring to combine.
  10. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  11. Return the chicken to the skillet along with any juices accumulated on the plate.
  12. Cover the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
  13. Add the halved green grapes to the skillet.
  14. Uncover and simmer for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the grapes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
  15. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  16. Serve immediately, spooning the sauce and grapes over the chicken.
