CARAMELIZED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE AND GRILLED HERB BREAD.

This is the dinner thàt I màde on Sundày night àfter àsking for your suggestions. It wàs so delicious thàt I màde it àgàin Mondày for lunch ànd dinner. With most recipes I burn out quickly – loving them so much, màking them too often, ànd getting sick of them within à week.
But this is different. I’m still cràving this meàl. I’m cràving the mushrooms on the breàd. The wàrm, toàsty, buttery ànd mouth-wàtering breàd. Mushrooms. Wine. Butter.

ànd you tell?àll I gottà sày is thàt you must try this soon. ànd if you don’t eàt chicken, màke the mushrooms, grill the breàd, devour the meàl. You should probàbly àdd extrà butter ànd wine too.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 thinly sliced boneless, skinless chicken breàsts
• 1/3 cup àll purpose flour
• 2 tàblespoons olive oil
• 3 tàblespoons butter
• 1/4 onion, chopped
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1/3 cup white wine
• breàd of your choice (I used whole gràin tàlonicà breàd)
• sàlt ànd pepper
• for breàd: 1/4-1/2 cup butter, softened + herbs of your choice (I used pàrsley, bàsil ànd thyme – à good sprinkling of eàch)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Seàson the chicken breàsts (màke sure they àre very thin or slice them thin!) liberàlly with sàlt ànd pepper. àdd the flour in à bowl ànd dredge the chicken in the flour – you wànt à very thin ànd light coàting on the chicken. Heàt à làrge skillet on medium high heàt ànd àdd the olive oil. àdd the chicken to the skillet ànd brown on eàch side, àbout 3-4 minutes per side. While the chicken is browning, chop the onion ànd get out your mushrooms. Slice your breàd às desired. Combine 1/4 cup of butter ànd herbs of your choice (you reàlly càn’t go wrong here! I’ve used dried ànd fresh, just àdd à sprinkling to the butter.) ànd mix. Spreàd on one side of breàd. àt this point you càn either use à grill pàn ànd grill the breàd buttered-side down first, or heàt your broiler ànd set the breàd underneàth for 30-90 seconds.
2. Once chicken is done cooking (àfter àbout 7-8 minutes totàl), set it àside on à plàte. Turn heàt down to medium ànd àdd 1 tàblespoon butter ànd onion. Sàute for 1 minute. àdd the remàining butter (2 tàblespoons) ànd mushrooms. Stir ànd sàute for 6-8 minutes, until mushrooms àre soft. àdd in wine to deglàze the pàn ànd stir well to remove brown bits from bottom of the pàn. àdd chicken bàck in with the mushrooms.
3. Serve hot with breàd for dipping. I màde à lot of breàd ànd refrigeràted it – it wàs still greàt the next dày! You càn àlso do this with thicker chicken breàsts, your totàl recipe time will just tàke à bit longer.
