Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Brown chicken stock
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
5 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
Chicken
16 large fresh sage leaves
4 chicken breast halves with skin and ribs
4 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Sauce
5 tablespoons chilled butter
2 large shallots, chopped
1/4 cup Madeira
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 large carrots, peeled, sliced diagonally (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • For brown chicken stock:
  • Heat heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add chicken wings to pot and sauté until deep brown, about 10 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, remove chicken wings from pot; transfer to large bowl. Add onion and carrots to drippings in pot; sauté until brown, about 10 minutes. Return chicken wings to pot. Add stock and wine and simmer, covered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain stock, discarding solids. (Stock can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cool, then cover and chill.)
  • For chicken:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 2 sage leaves under skin of each chicken breast and thigh. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts and thighs and sauté until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken thighs to large rimmed baking sheet. Roast 10 minutes. Add breasts to baking sheet and continue roasting chicken until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare sauce:
  • Discard fat from skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté 2 minutes. Add Madeira and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add stock, thyme, and sage to skillet and bring to boil. Add carrots and cook over high heat until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Add peas; simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Whisk remaining 4 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, into sauce. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a slight pink color. Avoid breasts that are thin or have a yellow or green tint.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to do this.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet. This will create a golden brown crust and help to lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the Madeira sauce. While the chicken is cooking, you can make the Madeira sauce. This sauce is made with butter, shallots, Madeira wine, and chicken broth.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with the Madeira sauce. You can also serve the chicken breasts with rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts with Madeira is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The Madeira sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken breasts. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
