Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts thin cut variety
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce:
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 1/2 cups Madeira wine
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
- salt and pepper to taste
For serving:
- 1 lb asparagus stalks trimmed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan; place on a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the wine and beef broth to the pan; simmer for 7-9 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
- Add the cornstarch and stir until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Preheat the broiler. Place the chicken and asparagus on a sheet pan coated in cooking spray. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper and sprinkle the cheese over the chicken.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted and asparagus is just tender. Remove the pan from the oven. Place a chicken breast and some asparagus onto each of 4 plates.
- Pour the mushroom sauce over each chicken breast and serve, topped with parsley.
