Chicken Madeira is similar to Chicken Marsala, but you use Madeira wine instead of Marsala, and beef broth for added richness.

You’ll love this dish during the colder months. It’s total comfort food with fabulous flavor.

Ingredients

  • 4 (4-6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large shallot
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups Madeira wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts flat so they are of even thickness. Season each side with the salt and black pepper.
  2. Over medium heat, add the olive oil to a large skillet. When hot, add the chicken. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side.
  3. Once browned and cooked through, remove to a plate.
  4. Add the butter to the same skillet. Reduce the heat just a bit. When the butter is melted, add the shallot and the mushrooms. Add the thyme, stir, and cook for just a few minutes.
  5. Add the wine to the skillet and increase the heat to high. Cook for a few minutes before adding the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  6. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid reduces by about half. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Serve warm and spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken.

    I'm not huge on mushrooms at all, but my husband would love this! This does look good. I can always take the mushrooms off!

    This is terrible but I always order this at the Cheesecake factory and have been wanting to make my own for years. Now I finally can give it a go instead of ordering from a restaurant.

    Legit drooling, this looks so good. I love mushrooms but my husband's allergic so we never have them in the house. I'll have to plan to make this some night he's not home!

    You don't mention how to cut the shallot. Diced, slices, chunks?

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
