Creamy Chicken Madeira
Description
Creamy Chicken Madeira combines boneless skinless chicken breasts lightly floured and seasoned, then sautéed until golden and cooked through. The pan sauce is crafted by sautéing shallots and cremini mushrooms in butter, then adding chicken stock, Madeira wine, and heavy cream. The sauce is boiled briefly to thicken, then finished with butter for a glossy texture. The wine adds a subtle sweetness and complexity distinctive to Madeira sauces.
The result is a creamy, flavorful dish featuring crispy-skinned chicken and an indulgent mushroom sauce. Serve warm with sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables to balance the rich sauce and tender chicken. This recipe highlights the use of Madeira wine for a classic, slightly sweet sauce complementing roasted chicken flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 tbsp butter (separated)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup shallot minced
- 1/2 lb cremini mushroom sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup Madeira
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- If chicken is large, slice each breast horizontal for 2 cutlets per breast. Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning. Dust each side with flour. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil. Sauté chicken for several minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy (internal temp should be 165°F).
- Remove chicken from pan and drain on a paper towel on a plate - keep warm, covered with aluminum foil.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the shallots until almost translucent and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for several minutes, stirring.
- To the sauté pan over medium heat add the chicken stock, madeira and scrape the bits of cooked pieces on bottom of pan.
- Add the cream, whisking to incorporate, bring to a boil and allow sauce to reduce and thicken, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, stirring to incorporate. Pour sauce over chicken and serve. Garnish with chopped parsley.
