Chicken and Sauce

Asparagus

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into wedges. In a bowl, toss them with olive oil, salt, and chopped rosemary. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the potatoes are roasting, wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Then, add the chicken demi-glace and stir well. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  2. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In another pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the mixed mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Stir in the fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 6

    Grill the Asparagus

    Meanwhile, on a grill or grill pan, add the seasoned asparagus and grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

  4. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms over the chicken and let it warm through for a couple of minutes. Serve the chicken with the mushroom sauce, grilled asparagus, and roasted Yukon Gold potatoes on the side.
