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 skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are 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 sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Add the Wine and Broth

    Pour in the Madeira wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Combine and Finish

    Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and parsley before serving.
