1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons salted butter
6 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup Madeira wine
1/2 cup water
1 cube chicken bouillon
8 ounces fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, place asparagus in a microwave-safe bowl with small amount of water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 3 minutes. Transfer to the chicken dish and pour any cooking liquid over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. You may have to add more wine and water, should there not be enough sauce to be poured on the chicken when serving. Turn on the oven's broiler; sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top of chicken. Broil until browned, about 3 minutes.

  • Cook the Chicken Properly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken before serving.
  • Don't Overcook the Asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked asparagus will lose its flavor and texture.
