Ingredients
Scale
- 4 4-6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large shallot
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cups Madeira wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts flat so they are of even thickness. Season each side with the salt and black pepper.
- Over medium heat, add the olive oil to a large skillet. When hot, add the chicken. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side.
- Once browned and cooked through, remove to a plate.
- Add the butter to the same skillet. Reduce the heat just a bit. When the butter is melted, add the shallot and the mushrooms. Add the thyme, stir, and cook for just a few minutes.
- Add the wine to the skillet and increase the heat to high. Cook for a few minutes before adding the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid reduces by about half. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Serve warm and spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken.
