Breasts of Chicken Bonne Maman image

When I create a dish, I am apt to give it a name - at the very least as a point of reference. When I made a dish with chicken breasts and small white onions, mushrooms and a little dry white wine, it reminded me so much of a meal served in my childhood home that I dubbed it "bonne maman," which means grandmother or granny. It is an excellent home-style dish that can be made in minutes. Simply cook the breast pieces in a skillet and add the onions. Ten minutes later add the mushrooms and wine. The total cooking time is less than 20 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
26 small white onions, about 1/2 pound
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound mushrooms, left whole if small, otherwise sliced or quartered
8 fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Cut each piece of breast in half crosswise down the center. Cut off and discard any bone lines or membranes.
  • Sprinkle the breast with salt and pepper.
  • Peel the onions and put them in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the breast pieces.
  • Cook about 30 seconds and add the onions.
  • Cook 10 minutes and turn the breast pieces. Scatter the mushrooms over all and cook about 3 minutes.
  • Add the basil leaves, wine and butter. Cover and cook about 3 minutes. Remove the basil leaves and garnish each piece of breast with one of the leaves. Serve with the onions and mushrooms in sauce spooned over.
