CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND WINE



Chicken With Mushrooms and Wine image

The boneless, skinless chicken breast is as simple to prepare as a burger, nearly as ubiquitous and generally seen as both classier and "healthier." But in the kitchen, it has two major shortcomings. First, its intrinsic flavor is minimal, more akin to pasta than to even an egg. (An egg is exciting by comparison.) Second, preparing a burger isn't that simple: unless you're looking for well done, you have to get the timing just right. In preparing chicken breasts, the cooking time should be just long enough for all but the last traces of pink to vanish - and no longer. The breast can be done in as little as six minutes, for a thinnish one subjected to high heat, or it might take as long as 10 minutes or even a bit more - but never 20, unless you are cooking the thing on a radiator. Overcooking is easy, and the results are predictably undesirable. Here's a simply wonderful way to prepare the humble breast with just a little wine (practically any kind will do) and mushrooms.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken-breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup flour
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup wine
Parsley, for garnish
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Add extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and swirl it around.
  • Put flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
  • Add the breasts to the skillet and cook so there is a constant sizzle but no burning.
  • Cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates completely.
  • With the heat still on medium-high, add wine to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and cook until the sauce is thickened; return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turn them in the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner and healthier meal.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms for a more flavorful dish. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all excellent choices.
  • Fresh thyme sprigs provide the best flavor, but dried thyme can be used in a pinch.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking bag. If you're using a large amount of chicken and vegetables, use two bags instead of one.
  • Seal the baking bag tightly to prevent leaks. You can use a special bag sealer or simply tie the bag closed with a knot.
  • Place the baking bag on a sheet pan to prevent it from tipping over in the oven.
  • Bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before opening the bag. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Chicken Breast Baked in a Bag with Mushrooms, Butter, White Wine, and Thyme is a delicious and easy way to prepare chicken. The chicken is moist and tender, and the vegetables are flavorful and perfectly cooked. The white wine and thyme add a lovely depth of flavor to the dish. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
