Indian Chicken Recipe - Chicken with Creamy Mushrooms

Chicken with Creamy Mushrooms


Makes 6 servings.


Ingredients : 


1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms, such as button or shiitake
3 tablespoons butter
6 Italian-marinated skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Method : 


In a large skillet cook mushrooms in 1 tablespoon the hot butter over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until tender. 
Remove mushrooms from skillet.
Reduce heat to medium. 
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chicken breast halves to skillet. 
Cook for 8 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once. 
Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
Remove skillet from heat; add vinegar, stirring to loosen browned bits in bottom of skillet. 
Return skillet to heat. Stir in cream, capers, and pepper. 
Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. 
Return mushrooms to skillet; heat through. 
Top chicken with mushroom sauce. 


Notes :
This quick and easy recipe can be done from start to finish in 30 minutes. 
Use pre-marinated chicken breasts to cut both the marinating and the cooking time. 
If you can't find pre-marinated chicken breasts, plain skinless, boneless chicken breasts also work well for this main dish.
