ESCALOPE OF CHICKEN



Escalope of Chicken image

I've never found this recipe in a cook book, but my husband and I saw Chef Gordon Ramsay making this on one of his many popular TV shows. We're not sure which one it was. We've made this many times since then and everyone who's tried it is terribly impressed. The key is using fresh soft mozzarella. The fresh stuff just melts...

This is how my mum and grandma make chicken Normandy. The main things in this recipe are to have the chicken breasts really tender and the sauce not too liquidy. Bon appetit!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (4.5 ounce) can button mushrooms, drained
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups hot cooked rice, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear chicken breasts in the hot oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet.
  • Add drained mushrooms to the pan juices in the skillet and cook until they start to pop, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; pour into the skillet with the mushrooms. Return chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg yolk from setting, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve with cooked white rice.
