How To Make chicken madeira
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Step 2Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover it to keep it warm.
-
Step 3Heat remaining olive oil and melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook for another 3-5 minutes or just until crisp tender.
-
Step 4Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Remove the veggies to a plate.
-
Step 5Increase the heat to medium-low. Add the wine to the skillet and gently boil until reduced by half or about 5 minutes. Whisk the beef broth and cornstarch together. Whisk the beef broth mixture into the Madeira wine and cook until slightly thickened, whisking several times.
-
Step 6Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the mushrooms and asparagus over the top and around the chicken. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
-
Step 7Bake for 4-6 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Be very careful removing the skillet from the oven, as the handle will be extremely hot. Use an oven mitt and remember the handle will stay hot for a while. Garnish with parsley.
