Sparkling Chicken

Recipe View In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Place the coated chicken breasts on waxed paper, avoiding stacking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and 1/4 cup of the sparkling wine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom juices have been absorbed and the mushrooms are beginning to brown, approximately 15 minutes.

Recipe View Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and arrange them on a warmed serving platter. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushroom and wine mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the brown flavor bits on the bottom of the skillet have dissolved and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, approximately 10 minutes. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken breasts. Serve immediately with white rice and a crisp green salad. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
