CHICKEN WITH CHAMPAGNE CREAM SAUCE image

Categories     Chicken     Simmer

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 chicken breasts
2 shallots, chopped
1/4 - 1/2 cup butter
1/4 - 1/2 bottle Champagne, or other sparkling wine
1/2 - 1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 - 1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon piment d'espelette (or other pepper spice, cayenne would probably work well)
1/2 teaspoon tarragon
Optional:
4 oz. mushrooms, sauteed in butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped

Steps:

  • - Melt about 1/4 cup butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken - When the butter is melted add shallots (and garlic if you like) and brown. - Add the rest of the butter, then the chicken and brown, about 2 minutes per side. - Pour in the sparkling wine and chicken broth, add a pinch of the tarragon and piment d'espelette and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, as necessary. OR cook for 5 to 10 minutes and finish on the BBQ. - Remove the chicken, cover and keep warm. Add the cream to the pan along with the rest of the tarragon and piment, bring to a boil and cook to reduce the sauce. - In the meantime, sauté the mushrooms. - When the sauce has reduced, stir in the mushrooms. - Return chicken to pan to heat and coat with sauce, then transfer to serving plates. - Pour sauce over chicken (and sides if you like, it's delicious over potatoes) and serve!

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the chicken was overcooked.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try brining the chicken next time to see if that helps.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as I'd hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll try adding a bit of cornstarch next time to thicken the sauce.

Absolutely delicious! The champagne and cream sauce was a perfect complement to the chicken, and the addition of mushrooms and shallots added even more flavor.
