Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 medium-sized chicken breasts, (boneless and skinless)
1 teaspoon lemon juice ((original recipe: 1/2 teaspoon))
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch pepper
2 tablespoons reduced fat butter ((original recipe: 5 tablespoons full fat))
1 tablespoon minced green onions
8 oz (250 g) sliced fresh mushrooms
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup port wine or dry white vermouth
4 oz (125 g) reduced fat cream cheese at room temperature ((original recipe: 1 cup whipping cream))
1/2 cup evaporated milk
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons freshly minced parsley
1-2 cups broccoli ((extra addition), cut into florets and steamed (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the chicken breasts with lemon juice and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy, oven-proof casserole (I used a skillet), about 10 inches in diameter until it is foaming. Stir in the minced shallots or green onion and saute a moment without browning. Then stir in the mushrooms and sauté lightly for a minute or two without browning. Season with salt.
  • Quickly roll the chicken in the butter mixture and lay a piece of buttered wax paper over them. Cover casserole (skillet) and place in hot oven. After 8-10 minutes, flip chicken and cook for another 8 minutes in the oven. Alternatively, brown chicken fillets on each side until golden; then cover and place into a preheated oven to continue cooking for a further 8 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken to a warm platter (leave mushrooms in the pot) and cover while making the sauce.
  • To make sauce: Pour the stock and wine in the skillet with the mushrooms. Boil down quickly over high heat until liquid has reduced to half.
  • Add in the cream cheese, breaking it down with your wooden spoon. Cook over low heat until it turns into a thick cream. Gradually add in the evaporated milk, stirring through the cream cheese until thickened.
  • Take off heat and taste for seasoning. Squeeze over a little extra lemon juice to taste. Add in the broccoli (if including it) and pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
