Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup oyster or shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup sliced shallots
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or good-quality wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry fino or oloroso sherry (do not use cream sherry)
1 cup meat, chicken or vegetable stock
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat for a minute or two. Add the tablespoon of olive oil, then mushrooms and shallots, and turn heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms brown on edges, about 5 minutes.
  • Add honey, and stir until it evaporates, less than a minute. Add vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dry, about 2 minutes. Add sherry, and cook, stirring once or twice, until mixture is syrupy and nearly dry, about 5 minutes. Add stock, and cook, stirring once or twice, until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low; keep warm.
  • After adding stock to sauce, sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and grill, broil or saute.
  • When chicken is done, season sauce with salt and pepper and strain if you like; stir in remaining olive oil. Serve chicken with sauce spooned over it.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked in about 10 minutes. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender. I served it with rice and broccoli.
