Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion.
-
Place 20 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
-
While the chicken marinates, soak 2.5 oz dried mixed wild mushrooms and 1/2 lb sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain well and chop both the mushrooms and tomatoes.
-
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add 10 chopped shallots and 6 cloves chopped garlic. Sauté until light gold and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the remaining olive oil and the rest of the fresh rosemary to the pan. Stir in 1.5 lb sliced shiitake mushrooms, the soaked wild mushrooms, and the sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle 5 tablespoons of flour over the mushroom mixture. Stir constantly and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
-
Slowly pour in 6 cups of rich beef stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
-
Stir in 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup bourbon. Simmer gently for 8 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adding more bourbon if desired. Remove from heat.
-
Preheat a grill or broiler to high. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill or broil chicken for about 10 minutes, turning once, until cooked through but still moist.
-
Reheat the mushroom sauce if it has cooled. Arrange the grilled chicken breasts on a serving platter and spoon the warm wild mushroom sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately.
