Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce image

Recipe video above. The creamy mushroom sauce here is a cut above the usual basic recipes, thanks to the additions of wine, parmesan and chicken stock. It turns this quick chicken dinner into a meal that's both worthy and elegant enough to serve to company!It's an excellent sauce to serve with chicken breast, which is very lean and doesn't actually have very much flavour. Also, the lightly-floured crust on the chicken makes it nice and crispy, giving the sauce something to cling on to. So don't skip it!

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 chicken breasts, large ((boneless skinless, ~600-700g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb total, Note 1))
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper
1/4 cup flour
15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
300g / 10 oz mushrooms (, sliced (button or Swiss brown))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/4 cup dry white wine ((sub more chicken stock, Note 2))
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock (, low sodium)
1 cup thickened / heavy cream (, full fat (Note 3))
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely and freshly grated (Note 4))
2 tbsp chives (, finely sliced (optional) - sub parsley, green onions, or omit)

Steps:

  • Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
  • Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
  • Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
  • Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
  • Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
  • Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
  • Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
  • Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
  • Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.
