Ingredients
-
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup diced onions
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy whipping cream
salt & pepper to taste
lemon juice
Asparagus, fresh, 15 spear, medium (5-1/4" to 7" long)
Directions
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Add butter, olive oil onions, and mushrooms to an oven proof skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle lemon juice, salt & pepper over the chicken breast. Add the chicken breast to the pan with the mushrooms and onions, rolling them to coat with the juices. Cut a piece of wax paper to fit on the inside of your skillet and butter one side of it. Place the buttered side of the wax paper down over the chicken and then cover the pan. Add the pan to the oven and finish the chicken. This takes about 8-10 minutes. Make sure the chicken reaches 170 degrees. Removed the chicken and set aside. Place the skillet on high heat and add the white wine. Cook this down very quickly until it starts to thicken. At this time at the cream and cook it down until the sauce begins to thicken again. Add the chicken back to the pan and coat with the sauce.
Lay the asparagus two to three deep in a rectangular dish.
Add one Tablespoon of water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Leave a small vent in the corner for steam to escape. (This also helps the plastic wrap from almost shrink wrapping itself over the asparagus. When that happens it's a lot harder to remover the plastic wrap. (Be careful not to get burnt from the hot steam!)
Set the microwave on high heat and cook the asparagus about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. If you want your asparagus to be more tender, cook it for another 30 seconds or so.
Makes 4 servings.
