Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the Madeira wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Add the chicken broth and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
