Directions
submitted by: Berry@... (Berry, Guelph, Ontario, Canada) From Cream Reduction Sauces by Faye Levy Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute about 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to bowl.
Add shallot and wine to skillet and bring to boil. Add stock and boil 2 minutes. Add garlic and cream and bring to boil. Return mushrooms to pan and simmer over medium heat, stirring, until sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, about 5 minutes. (Sauce can be covered and refrigerated 1 day.
Reheat over low heat before serving.) Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter in large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute, pressing on chicken occasionally with slotted spatula, 4 or 5 minutes per side or until meat feels springy and is no longer pink inside. Serve with sauce. Makes 4 servings.
The sauce in this recipe gains a terrific flavor from being simmered with sauteed mushrooms and garlic. When exotic mushrooms, such as morels, chanterelles or porcini are available, use them for a luxurious variation.
I also love this rich French sauce with sauteed turkey breast slices or with roast turkey.
