Equipment

  • Frying pan

Ingredients
  

CRISPY CHICKEN

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, large (boneless skinless) ~600-700g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb total
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 15 g unsalted butter

Mushroom Sauce

  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 300 g mushrooms, sliced (button or Swiss brown)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine sub more chicken stock
  • ½ cup chicken or vegetable stock, low sodium
  • 1 cup thickened / heavy cream, full fat
  • ½ cup parmesan, finely and freshly grated

For serving

  • 2 tablespoon chives, finely sliced optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
  • Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.

Cooking Chicken

  • Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 ½ minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.

Cooking 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.
  • Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.

Making Sauce

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Final Touch

  • Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly). Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, or transfer to serving platter.
  • Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.

Notes

Store chicken in the sauce for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently using microwave.
