Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Riesling wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and pepper, then dust with 2 tablespoons of flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Pour in 1 cup of Riesling wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Return the chicken pieces to the pot and add 1 cup of chicken broth, 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of butter, and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Return the chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and coat the chicken with the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Coq au Riesling with Cream!
