Best 6 Chicken With Cremini Mushroom Port Sauce Recipes

20-MINUTE SKILLET MUSHROOM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees F. You will use it to keep the chicken warm.
• Cut chicken breasts in halves the horizontal way to make thinner chicken cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oregano, paprika, and coriander in a small bowl. Season the chicken with the spice mixture on both sides.
• In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook for another 3 minutes or so. To check for doneness, cut into a piece with a thin-bladed knife and take a peek. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof platter and put it in the oven.
• In the same skillet, now add a tiny bit more extra virgin olive oil. Add ghee and melt. Sautee the mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add broth, green onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add the chicken back to the pan, spoon some of the sauce on top. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

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.

MARSALA CHICKEN WITH SAGE AND CREMINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add chicken, and cook until golden on the outside and opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm (reserve skillet).
• Add mushrooms, shallot, sage, and 1/4 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine and cream; simmer over medium-high until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Top chicken with mushroom sauce, and garnish with sage.

• Set chicken aside, and keep warm.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil to pan and cook onions and garlic 3 to 4 minutes until onions are brown.
• Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add wine and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Add cream and return chicken breasts to pan.

CHICKEN WITH PORT-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with flour. Add to skillet; sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Tent with foil.
• Add garlic to same skillet and sauté 1 minute. Add Port and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Add stock, cream and rosemary and boil until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Return mushrooms to skillet; stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Slice chicken on diagonal; arrange on plates. Pour sauce over and serve.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.
