Ingredients

  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch segments

  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

How To Make chicken madeira

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Heat 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 3
    Heat 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 4
    Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Remove the veggies to a plate.
  • Step 5
    Increase 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 6
    Return 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 7
    Bake 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.
