Mushroom-Saged Chicken braise

Ingredients:

 

•3 Tbsp butter

•1/2 cup chopped shallots

•8-10 ounces mushrooms, cremini or ****ake, thickly sliced

•1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

•1 cup dry white wine

•2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

•3 Tbsp chopped fresh sage

•1 Tbsp olive oil

•1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pieces pounded to an even 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch thickness

•Salt and freshly ground black pepper

* 3-4 ounces of fresh spinach (served very cold on the side)

 

Preparation:

 Melt butter in a large sauté pan on medium high heat. Add shallots and sauté for one minute. Add mushrooms and parsley and sauté for 5-10 more minutes, until the mushrooms have browned. If you are using unsalted butter, sprinkle on a pinch of salt. Add vermouth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits that may be sticking to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cream. Bring to a boil and cook the sauce down until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon (about 10 minutes).

While the sauce is reducing, heat olive oil in another large sauté pan on medium high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breast cutlets. Add cutlets to pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.

Stir in sage to sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken to serve. 

Serve with 4 ounces of cold spinach for a healthy punch of flavor and vitamins!

  Hitting the market tomorrow. This sounds fabulous! I am loving my chicken (DH...not so much). But he will love this!

Thanks for the posting (I have actually printed many of your recipes or saved them to my desktop. I am so enjoying cooking post op!)

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
