Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast (thinly sliced)
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (diced)
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 cups Madeira wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Fill a large skillet with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain the asparagus, then place in an ice bath to cool.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides of the chicken breast. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are almost tender. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until they are coated.
- Pour in the Madeira wine and bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth and continue to simmer until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and add the asparagus. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the Chicken Madeira over mashed potatoes if desired.
