Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms
Description
Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms begins with chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness, dredged lightly in flour, and pan-fried in olive oil until cooked through. Bacon is cooked until crisp, and its rendered fat is used to sauté diced onions, sliced mushrooms, and garlic. This combination creates a flavorful base for the sauce.
The pan is deglazed with white wine and chicken broth, simmered to reduce by half. Heavy cream is then added and simmered until the sauce thickens slightly. The mushroom mixture is returned to the pan along with the chicken to warm through, creating a rich, creamy dish combining tender chicken pieces with earthy mushrooms in a smooth sauce.
Salt and black pepper are adjusted for seasoning. Serving over pasta allows the sauce to coat noodles for a complete meal combining protein and sauce with pasta.
