Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds chicken tenders
½ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 (8 ounce) packages white mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ cups water
2 ½ teaspoons roasted beef base (such as Better then Bouillon®)
2 ½ cups Madeira wine
½ tablespoon cornstarch

  • Place chicken tenders between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer to flatten slightly.

  • Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in the same skillet and whisk in beef base until dissolved. Add Madeira wine, bring to a boil, and cook until mixture has reduced by about 1/3. Return mushrooms, shallots, and garlic to the skillet and let simmer.

CHICKEN, MADEIRA AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE



Chicken, Madeira and mushroom casserole image

This gorgeous creamy casserole has added depth of flavour from a splash of Madeira and earthy wild mushrooms.

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium chicken, jointed into 8 pieces
1 tsp plain flour
75g/2½oz butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
5 tbsp Madeira
500ml/18fl oz chicken stock
200ml/7fl oz double cream
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only, chopped
250g/9oz chestnut mushrooms, cut into quarters
100g/3½oz chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned
2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1kg/2lb 4oz floury potatoes, such as King Edward, peeled and cut into chunks
150g/5½oz butter
150ml/5fl oz double cream

Steps:

  • For the casserole, season the chicken pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then dredge them in the flour to coat.
  • Heat two-thirds of the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. When foaming, add the chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown on each side. (Do not overcrowd the pan.) Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and transfer to a casserole or a large heavy-based saucepan.
  • Place the casserole over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, Madeira, chicken stock, cream and thyme, stir well and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering, then simmer for 12-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the mushrooms and continue to simmer for a further 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. (The chicken is cooked through when the juices run clear when pierced in the thickest part with a knife, and no trace of pink remains.) Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir in the remaining butter and the parsley.
  • Meanwhile, for the mash, boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and return to the pan, then place over a low heat for a couple of minutes to dry them slightly.
  • Mash or rice the potatoes until smooth, then stir in the butter and cream until smooth and well combined, and season to taste.
  • Serve the casserole with a spoonful of mash.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, such as free-range chicken and fresh mushrooms.
  • For a richer sauce, use a combination of chicken broth and dry white wine instead of all chicken broth.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, cook it over low heat for a longer period of time.
  • If you don't have Madeira wine, you can substitute it with dry sherry or white wine.
  • To make the sauce creamy, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream at the end of cooking.
  • Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Madeira chicken with mushrooms is a classic dish that is easy to make and always impressive. The combination of tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and rich Madeira sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more delicious.
