Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized chicken breast boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice original recipe: ½ teaspoon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter original recipe: 5 tablespoons full fat, reduced fat
- 1 tablespoon green onions minced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the sauce:
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup port wine or dry white vermouth
- 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature, original recipe: 1 cup whipping cream, reduced fat
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley minced
- 1-2 cups broccoli extra addition, cut into florets and steamed - optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the chicken breasts with lemon juice and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter in a heavy, oven-proof casserole (I used a skillet), about 10 inches in diameter until it is foaming. Stir in the minced shallots or green onion and saute a moment without browning. Then stir in the mushrooms and sauté lightly for a minute or two without browning. Season with salt.
- Quickly roll the chicken in the butter mixture and lay a piece of buttered wax paper over them. Cover casserole (skillet) and place in hot oven. After 8-10 minutes, flip chicken and cook for another 8 minutes in the oven. Alternatively, brown chicken fillets on each side until golden; then cover and place into a preheated oven to continue cooking for a further 8 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken to a warm platter (leave mushrooms in the pot) and cover while making the sauce.
- To make sauce: Pour the stock and wine in the skillet with the mushrooms. Boil down quickly over high heat until liquid has reduced to half.
- Add in the cream cheese, breaking it down with your wooden spoon. Cook over low heat until it turns into a thick cream. Gradually add in the evaporated milk, stirring through the cream cheese until thickened.
- Take off heat and taste for seasoning. Squeeze over a little extra lemon juice to taste. Add in the broccoli (if including it) and pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
