Equipment

  • medium skillet
  • casserole dish
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • Flour for dredging
  • 2-3 tablespoons flour extra for sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup dry sherry or Marsala wine
  • 6 slices Muenster cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 6 thinner chicken breasts.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Shake off any excess.
  • Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook 3 pieces of chicken at a time for about 3 minutes per side. Do not cook all the way through. Transfer to a casserole dish and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter. Once melted, add mushrooms and cook until slightly seared and the liquid has cooked off. Spoon mushrooms over the chicken.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the extra flour and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring or whisking.
  • Slowly add the heavy cream and sherry or Marsala, whisking until smooth. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.
  • Top with Muenster cheese. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil and broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
