Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2x 9oz/250g Chicken Breasts, brought close to room temp
- 1/4 cup / 40g Flour
- 1 tsp EACH: Salt, Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp EACH: Olive Oil, Butter (preferably unsalted)
Sauce
- 9oz / 250g Baby Button Mushrooms, sliced fairly thin
- 3/4 cup / 180ml Heavy/Double Cream, at room temp
- 3/4 cup / 180ml Chicken Stock
- 1oz / 1/3cup / 30g freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 large cloves of Garlic, finely diced
- 1 tbsp finely diced Fresh Parsley, plus more to garnish if desired
- 1 tbsp finely diced Fresh Chives
- 1 tbsp Butter, preferably unsalted (can sub oil, this is to fry the mushrooms)
- 1/2 – 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts.
- Heat up 1 tbsp oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry both sides for a few mins, or until golden on the outside and just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place chicken to one side.
- Melt in 1 tbsp butter and add the mushrooms. Fry until they form a golden crust, then reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and fry for another 1-2 mins. Pour in stock and cream, then add chives and parsley. Simmer for 5 mins or so, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
- Stir in parmesan, then add a very gentle squeeze of lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for another minute or so to thicken a little more if you need to.
- Add chicken back in and baste in the sauce. Serve up and enjoy!
In a large shallow dish combine 1/4 cup flour with 1 tsp garlic powder & salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast through the flour to coat, then shake off excess and place to one side.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are brought close to room temperature for even cooking.
- Adjust lemon juice to personal preference for acidity in the sauce.
