Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Slice the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.

  3. 5

    Create the Sauce

    Add 1 cup of champagne and 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard to the skillet with the mushrooms, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine and Finish

    Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving. Enjoy your Champagne Chicken with a side of your choice!
