Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.75 cup chicken stock
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Add the minced shallot and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to turn golden.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine is reduced by half.
Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, thyme, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the ragout. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and cook for 2 minutes to rewarm the chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy with rice, mashed potatoes, or a crusty baguette.
