Christy Rost
| Ingredients: | |
|---|---|
| 4 | boneless, skinless chicken breast halves |
| 1 ¼ | cups flour |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| ½ | teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 3 | tablespoons olive oil, divided |
| 1 | tablespoon minced shallot |
| 3 | cups sliced white mushrooms (about ½ pound) |
| ¼ | cup dry white wine |
| ½ | cup chicken broth |
| 1-2 | tablespoons cold butter |
| parsley for garnish | |
Heat oven to lowest setting. Rinse chicken breasts and dry with paper towels. Place chicken on a cutting board between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound chicken to ½" thickness with a meat mallet, trim edges and set aside.
Combine flour, salt and pepper in a plastic zipper bag; shake to mix. Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low; add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. As skillet heats, coat a chicken breast with seasoned flour to cover. Place chicken breast in hot oil; repeat with second chicken breast.
Saute chicken 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown; turn and saute until other side is golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet, place on warm serving platter and place in oven. Add remaining oil to skillet; coat remaining chicken breasts with flour and saute. Reserve seasoned flour for later use. Transfer cooked chicken to serving platter; keep warm in oven.
Deglaze pan with white wine, scraping up brown bits; add chicken broth. Cook 2 minutes; then add shallots and mushrooms. Cook several minutes, until mushrooms are tender. Reduce heat to low.
Cut cold butter into quarters. Drop butter into flour mixture; then one piece at a time, stir butter into mushrooms to thicken sauce. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken scaloppine, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
Recipe serves 4.
