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.

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.

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.
