Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC). Remove stems from the portobello mushrooms and place them cap-side up on a baking sheet.
-
Brush the mushrooms with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12 minutes or until tender, then thinly slice and set aside.
-
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper.
-
Place chicken breasts skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once, until well browned on both sides.
-
Transfer browned chicken to a plate. Pour off excess fat from the skillet, then return all chicken to the skillet.
-
Reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook for 5 more minutes until chicken is opaque and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a serving plate and keep warm.
-
Pour dry white wine into the hot skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
-
Add chicken stock and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and continue boiling until sauce thickens and reduces by half, about 3 more minutes.
-
Stir in the sliced roasted mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.
