Equipment

  • Large Deep Pan & Tongs
  • Large Shallow Dish (for dredging chicken)
  • wooden spoon
  • Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
  • Jug (for stock)
  • Fine Cheese Grater (for parmesan)

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts brought close to room temp
  • ¼ cup Flour (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Butter preferably unsalted

Sauce

  • 9 oz Baby Button Mushrooms sliced fairly thin
  • ¾ cup Heavy/Double Cream at room temp
  • ¾ cup Chicken Stock
  • 1 oz Parmesan freshly grated, about 30g
  • 2 large cloves Garlic finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely diced, plus more to garnish if desired
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Butter preferably unsalted (can sub oil, this is to fry the mushrooms)
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (see notes)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts.
  • In a large shallow dish combine ¼ cup flour with 1 teaspoon garlic powder & salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast through the flour to coat, then shake off excess and place to one side.
  • Heat up 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry both sides for a few mins, or until golden on the outside and just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place chicken to one side.
  • Melt in 1 tablespoon butter and add the mushrooms. Fry until they form a golden crust, then reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and fry for another 1-2mins. Pour in stock and cream, then add chives and parsley. Simmer for 5mins or so, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in parmesan, then add a very gentle squeeze of lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for another minute or so to thicken a little more if you need to.
  • Add chicken back in and baste in the sauce. Serve up and enjoy!

Notes

Coating the chicken in flour will help give it a nice golden crust as it fries. It also helps absorb the sauce and helps it cling to the chicken. Using unsalted butter allows for more control over the saltiness of the dish.
