- Add the Lakewood Vineyards Dry Riesling, cover and simmer over low heat until the chicken is just cooked, about 25 minutes.

- Remove the chicken from the large skillet and set it in the skillet with the mushrooms.
- In a bowl, blend the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, creating a paste.
- Stir the cream into the large skillet; bring to a simmer. Mix the flour paste into the cooking liquid and simmer until thickened.
