Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Recipe Link: http://Earthy.Com

List of Ingredients





Chicken is a great dish to serve in the summer. It's
light and satisfying and doesn't leave you with the
same heavy feeling that you might get from red meat.
This dish is dressed up with a rich mushroom sauce
which doubles as an excellent topping for a dish
of hot egg noodles. Try this with corn-on-the-cob
and a bread-and-tomato salad. For the
bread-and-tomato salad recipe

1 cup chicken broth
1 ounce dried morel mushrooms
1/4 cup butter
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 pound fresh cinnamon cap mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup brandy
Chopped fresh parsley




Recipe




Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a small heavy
saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat and add the
dried morel mushrooms. Let them stand for about 20
minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Drain the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut off
the stems and discard, slice the caps.

Melt the unsalted butter in a large heavy skillet
over medium high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with
salt and pepper, then add the chicken to the skillet
and sauté until cooked almost through. This should
take about 4 minutes per side. Use tongs to
transfer the chicken to a plate.

Add all of the mushrooms and the onion to the
same skillet. Sauté over medium-high heat until
the mushrooms begin to brown and almost all of
the liquid has reduced. This should take roughly
12 minutes. Add the cream and brandy to the
mushrooms. Pour in the reserved mushroom liquid.
Boil this mixture until thickened almost to a
sauce consistency, about 8 minutes. Return the
chicken and the juices to the skillet and simmer
until the chicken is cooked through, about 4
minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper
and sprinkle with parsley.

Try this dish with a delicious and exceptionally easy dessert.
Rinse and hull a quart of ripe, fresh strawberries.
Serve them in a bowl accompanied with smaller
bowls of sour cream and brown sugar. Dip a berry
in the sour cream, then the brown sugar. This is
a perfect and light "fini" to a wonderful dinner.
