homemade chicken madeira

Chicken Madeira with sautéed mushrooms and tender crisp asparagus is topped with melty mozzarella cheese. Cheaper and better than the Cheesecake Factory! 

Chicken Madeira

asparagus,

butter, divided

white mushrooms, sliced

salt

black pepper

yellow onion, diced

garlic, minced

parsley,

chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

Madeira wine

chicken broth

heavy cream

mozzarella cheese, shredded

In a large pot of boiling water, add asparagus and blanch until slightly but still bright green, about 2-3 minutes. Rinse the asparagus under cold running water to stop the cooking process and drain in a colander. Set aside.

Cook the asparagus:

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and sauté until the moisture evaporates from them, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms turns golden brown. (Salt will further extract more water from the mushrooms, giving them a nice brown color).

Stir in onion, garlic, and parsley and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a plate and set aside.

Prepare the mushrooms:

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise (horizontally) and season with salt and pepper to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon of each).

Use a paper towel to wipe the same skillet clean. Melt the remaining butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute.

Sear the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature for the chicken should reach 165F on a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken from the heat and transfer to the same plate with mushrooms.

Prepare the chicken:

In the same skillet, add wine and stir well to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream. Mix well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue to simmer until thickened to a desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Return the chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Arrange the mushrooms and asparagus around the chicken. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Transfer the pan into the oven and broil on HI for 3-4 minutes (or bake in a preheated 450F oven for 5-7 minutes) until the melted cheese turns golden brown.

Serve warm with pasta or rice if desired.

Assemble the chicken madeira:
