Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 1 cups chicken stock
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Pour in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine is reduced by half.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice just before serving.
Serve the Chicken a La Peggy hot, with sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
