Receta Pan Seared Chicken Breasts in a Mushroom Cream Sauce
The poor maligned boneless, skinless, chicken breast. It needs much attention and fussing over to transform this rather dull and potentially dry cut of meat into a dish fit for a King - or Queen. The magic of the transformation in my view is twofold. Firstly, a light hand in the frying pan and then a sauce that makes the tastebuds sing.
Ingredientes
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 2-4 tablespoons of all purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2-4 shallots, finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic, very finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of white wine
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup of chicken stock
- One basket of mushrooms (I used organic Baby Bella) wiped and sliced
- 1 tablespoon of heavy cream
Direcciones
- In a large saute pan heat the oil and the butter until hot.
- Dry the chicken breasts and dredge them lightly in the flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Add the shallots to the pan and saute until soft, add the garlic and saute for a further 2 minutes or so, don't let the garlic burn.
- Push the shallots and garlic to one side of the pan and add the chicken. Cook the chicken breasts until they are beautifully golden on each side. Season with a sprinkling of parsley.
- Add the wine and the chicken stock.
- Bring to the boil and turn down to a simmer.
- Add the mushrooms, partially cover the chicken with a lid and let the sauce and mushrooms simmer around the chicken until the chicken is cooked through. These chicken breasts were on the chunky side so it took about 5 - 7 minutes.
- When just cooked through, remove the chicken to a platter and cover.
- Add the cream to the sauce and swirl gently until it is incorporated.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and let rest for 5 minutes or so. Just before you serve it, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
