Recipe Instructions
- For the Chicken Breast:
- Preheat Oven to 375°
- In a sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, sauté the chicken breasts on one side until golden brown. Turn chicken over and transfer to cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking mat and bake for 10 minutes or until inside temperature is 160°/165°.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a reduction sauce pan, heat the butter and olive oil. When hot add the shallots and cook until light golden brown. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes (this could take 5 to 8 minutes) to let them release ALL their water.
- Add the spinach and cook for a couple more minutes until wilted. Add the white wine and let it reduce by half or until very smooth.
- Add the stock and cream, let it reduce on medium high heat for about 5 minutes to thicken. You may have to reduce the heat to medium to low heat.
- Use a little corn starch slurry to thicken to the right consistency if needed it!
- Add more butter at the end of the heat!
