Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same pan, add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  4. 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. 5

    Add Broth and Cream

    Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the seared chicken breasts to the pan. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Large Pan Chicken Madeira!
