Ingredients
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •1 pinch salt (to season)
- •Mushrooms, White, Sliced(397g)
- •Unsalted Butter(10g)
- •Shallot
- •Sparkling Wine, Dry(120g)
- •Whole Milk(160g)
- •Cornstarch(5g)
- •1 pinch fresh parsley (to garnish)
Instructions
- 1Heat 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.
- 2Fry 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.
- 3Add 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.
- 4Add 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.
- 5Add the chicken and mushrooms into the sauce along with any cooking juices. Coat in the creamy sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!
