Ingredients
Chicken
Mushroom Sauce
Cheese Topping
Prepare the Chicken
1. Season the Chicken
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
2. Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Mushroom Sauce
3. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, minced shallots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the shallots are translucent.
4. Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the Madeira wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
5. Add Broth and Cream
Add the beef or chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves. Let the sauce simmer for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine and Bake
6. Combine Chicken and Sauce
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top to coat.
7. Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded Fontina cheese evenly over the chicken and sauce.
