Chicken Breasts With Shiitake Mushrooms
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, about 5 ounces each
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 pound shiitake or small white mushrooms, washed and dried
- 8 small white onions, peeled
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, or 1 tablespoon dried
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken breasts, the mushrooms and the onions.
- Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat or until lightly browned.
- Turn the pieces and cook 5 minutes more, shaking the pan and turning the mushrooms and onions so they brown evenly.
- Remove chicken breasts, and keep them warm.
- Pour off fat from the pan.
- Add the rosemary and shallots and cook briefly, until wilted.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the skillet.
- When the wine is almost reduced by half, blend in the chicken broth.
- Continue cooking and when the sauce is reduced by half, stir in the butter.
- Remove pan from stove immediately.
- Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
