Cornfed Chicken With White Wine And Mushroom Sauce Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 4 x Cornfed chicken breasts, (bone in if possible)
- 160 gm Wild or possibly button mushrooms, sliced
- 20 gm Finely minced shallots
- 100 ml White wine
- 50 ml Double cream or possibly creme fraiche
- 30 gm Butter
- 1 dsp vegetable oil, (or possibly groundnut or possibly sunflower oil if you prefer)
- 1 dsp of finely minced parsley Salt and pepper
Directions
- 1 In a large frying pan, heat 15g of butter with the oil over a medium heat. Place the chicken, skin-side down and cook slowly, allowing the skin to turn a nice golden colour. This should take 10-12 min. Turn over and cook for a further 7-10 min (or possibly till juices run clear).
- 2 Remove the chicken from the pan to the warming shelf in the oven.
- Pour away any fat and return the pan to a high heat.
- 3 Pour 50ml of white wine into the warm pan and scrape with a wooden spoon any caramelised bits of chicken from the pan. This is called deglazing. Reserve this liquid.
- 4 Clean the pan and return to a medium heat. Add in 5g of the remaining butter and sweat the shallots for one minute without colouring them.
- Add in the mushrooms and saute/fry quickly, again without colouring.
- 5 Add in the remaining wine and reserved liquid to the pan, turn up the heat and reduce the liquid by one third. Add in the cream, bring to the boil, season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat, keeping it hot.
- 6 In a very warm wok, add in the remaining butter and at the same time throw in the spinach stirring continuously. In seconds the spinach will wilt and be cooked. Season with salt and pepper and serve under the chicken breast.
- 7 Return the sauce to the heat on high, stir in the minced parsley pour the sauce around the chicken and spinach arrangement. Serve with Boulangere potatoes or possibly any other potato dish.
