Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 skinless boneless chicken breast fillets halved horizontally to make four fillets
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 14 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 french shallot large, finely chopped - normal shallot for U.S readers
- ½ cup champagne or sparkling white wine
- ⅔ cup milk or heavy / thickened cream
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch corn flour - only if using milk
- 1 pinch fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet of pan over medium heat. Season each chicken filet with a pinch of salt. Sear chicken on both sides, for about 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness), until golden all over. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Fry the mushrooms in the butter and fry for a further 3-5 minutes, or until just beginning to soften. Transfer to the same plate as the chicken. Cover and keep warm.
- Add the shallot into the pan and cook for 4 minutes, while occasionally stirring. Pour in the champagne; stir well, while scraping any food bits from the bottom of the pan for added flavour. Season with salt and pepper and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add milk (or cream) and simmer for 2-3 minutes. If using milk: mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water; pour into the centre of the pan and mix throughout the sauce until slightly thickened.
- Add the chicken and mushrooms into the sauce along with any cooking juices. Coat in the creamy sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!

Notes
