Instruções

Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form thin steaks.

Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.

Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter or some oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.

Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until the mushrooms are golden.

Deglaze skillet: Add white wine – it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan with a rubber or wooden spatula, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.

Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes.

Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over.

Sides: serve with rice and some greens like broccoli, beans or asparagus.
