Tips for Making the Perfect Chicken Madeira:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor.
- Pound the chicken breasts or thighs to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If necessary, sear the chicken in batches.
- Use a combination of butter and olive oil to sear the chicken. This will help to prevent the butter from burning.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
- Use a good quality Madeira wine. A dry or semi-dry Madeira wine is best.
- Add the Madeira wine to the pan after the chicken has been cooked. This will help to prevent the wine from burning.
- Simmer the chicken in the Madeira wine until it is reduced by half. This will concentrate the flavor of the wine.
- Add the mushrooms and cream to the pan and cook until the mushrooms are tender.
- Serve the Chicken Madeira over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
