Chicken With Creamy Mushrooms and Sugar Snap Peas image

This is a quickly and easily prepared one-pot dish. I serve it with baked potatoes and a green salad lightly dressed with oil, vinegar and cracked pepper. Don't be alarmed by the number of preparation steps in this recipe. I try to make all of my recipes very detailed to eliminate any guessing or possible mistakes. This is very, very easy to assemble.The recipe is adapted and modified from one I saw in "Food Network Magazine."

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken cutlets, patted dry (about 1 1/4 lbs.)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, separated
all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 green onions, thinly sliced
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered (button, cremini, shiitake or a combination)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup vermouth
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed and halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet.
  • Dredge 2 chicken cutlets in flour and place in the skillet.
  • Cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer chicken to a baking dish.
  • Repeat with other 2 pieces of chicken.
  • Cover the dish loosely with foil and place in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the vegetables.
  • Add butter to the hot skillet.

  • Cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the broth and wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned chicken bits with a wooden utensil.
  • Cook until the liquid is reduced by about 1/2, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream and boil until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 or 4 minutes. You can add a little Wondra sauce flour to enhance the thickening if you wish.

  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the chicken topped with the creamy vegetables.
