Chicken Madeira (Cheesecake Factory Copycat)
Report
This Chicken Madeira recipe is easy, scrumptious, and such a people-pleaser! It's simple enough for busy weeknights, yet delicious enough for weekend guests. (Note: The Madeira wine's alcohol content evaporates during the cooking/reducing process, so it's a kid-friendly dish.)

Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 TB olive oil divided
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
For the Sauce
- 2 TB olive oil
- 8 oz white mushrooms freshly sliced
- 3 cups Madeira wine almost a full bottle
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 TB cornstarch dissolved in 2 TB of the beef broth
- 1 TB salted butter
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Flatten chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness throughout. Lightly sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 TB olive oil over medium heat until hot. Place chicken breasts in skillet, without overcrowding. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned on both sides and no longer pink in center. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking pan and cover to keep warm.
- In the same unwashed skillet, add 2 TB olive oil over medium heat until oil is hot. Add mushrooms and stir 1-2 min. Add the remaining sauce ingredients. Stir and bring sauce to a boil.
- Immediately reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer 20 minutes or until sauce is reduced by one-fourth of its original volume. Finished sauce will be dark brown and thickened. Transfer sauce to a container and keep warm.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top of chicken breasts on baking pan. Broil 3-4 minutes or just until cheese is golden and melted; watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Enjoy chicken immediately, generously drizzled with Madeira sauce. Extra sauce is delicious over mashed potatoes, angel hair pasta, or fluffy rice.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. If needed, cook chicken in two separate batches.
