CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE



Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce image

Recipe video above. The creamy mushroom sauce here is a cut above the usual basic recipes, thanks to the additions of wine, parmesan and chicken stock. It turns this quick chicken dinner into a meal that's both worthy and elegant enough to serve to company!It's an excellent sauce to serve with chicken breast, which is very lean and doesn't actually have very much flavour. Also, the lightly-floured crust on the chicken makes it nice and crispy, giving the sauce something to cling on to. So don't skip it!

Categories     Mains

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 chicken breasts, large ((boneless skinless, ~600-700g / 1.2 - 1.4 lb total, Note 1))
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper
1/4 cup flour
15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
300g / 10 oz mushrooms (, sliced (button or Swiss brown))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/4 cup dry white wine ((sub more chicken stock, Note 2))
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock (, low sodium)
1 cup thickened / heavy cream (, full fat (Note 3))
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely and freshly grated (Note 4))
2 tbsp chives (, finely sliced (optional) - sub parsley, green onions, or omit)

Steps:

  • Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
  • Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
  • Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
  • Cook 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.
  • Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
  • Deglaze skillet: 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.
  • Make creamy sauce: 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.
  • Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
  • Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

Provided by Chungah Rhee

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups half and half*
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place chicken, skin-side up, in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Drain excess fat. To make the mushroom sauce, melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in half and half, thyme, basil and crushed red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve chicken immediately with mushroom sauce, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Tips

- For richer flavor, use flavorful chicken broth or stock as part of the liquid in the sauce. - Fresh mushrooms are best for this dish, but you can also use frozen or canned mushrooms in a pinch. - If you don't have Havarti cheese on hand, you can substitute another mild, creamy cheese such as Gruyère, Fontina, or Gouda. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly. - Cook the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. - Add the mushrooms and cook until they are softened and browned. - Stir in the cream, chicken broth, and seasonings and bring to a simmer. - Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. - Stir in the cheese and cook until it is melted and smooth. - Serve the Creamy Mushroom Havarti Sauce over chicken, pasta, or rice.
