This elegant chicken dish features tender, juicy chicken breasts cooked in a flavorful white wine sauce with mushrooms and shallots. It's perfect for a fancy dinner party or a romantic date night at home. Serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or over a bed of creamy polenta for a truly luxurious meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Let the sauce simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and butter until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
