Peppered Chicken With Lemon-mushroom-wine Sauce

"This is a recipe I have created for the RSC Contest for Winter 2005. I have made it a couple of times, modifying it some the second time. It is good served with pasta and vegetables. I hope you enjoy it. I think it will be low in calories also."

directions

  • Saute the shallots and mushroom in 1 T of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 cup of wine and 3/4 C of chicken broth and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove the mushroom from the sauce to a small bowl.
  • Increase heat to high, cooking the wine mixture until it reduces to about 1/2 C (about 5-6 minutes), then pour over the mushrooms.
  • Decrease heat to medium high, sprinkle pepper generously over the chicken pieces and cook in 1 T of butter, in the same skillet, covered, for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is done.
  • Place on a platter and keep warm.
  • Add 1/2 C of wine and the rest of the broth to the skillet and deglaze, boiling for about 1 minute.
  • Combine the cornstarch and lemon juice and add to the pan along with the basil leaves, and the retained mushroom sauce and bring to a boil for another minute, stirring constantly.
  • Serve the chicken pieces with the sauce spooned over them.
  • This tastes great served with pasta and vegetables.

  1. this is pretty good! Love the sauce! I found the directions a little complicated and could be made simpler. I browned the chicken first, removed from the pan, then cooked the shallots and mushroom (i used crimini). Then I made the sauce, reduced it and finally put everything (mushrooms and chicken) in the pan. Hope this makes sense; that way I only had to use 1 pan. Thanks for the delicous dinner! Good luck in the contest!
     
  2. This recipe was very good, but one DH & I differed on in our evaluations. I liked the chicken coated in cracked black pepper the best, while he wasn’t crazy about the amount of pepper I used. I thought the mushroom & wine sauce was very tasty and contained a good amount of mushrooms. To me they & the wine were the best part of the sauce. I did have to increase the cooking time in order to reduce the sauce properly. All in all a nice meal served with pasta, a salad, and bread sticks. Thanks chef!!
     
  3. This was very good... I did have to add a little more corn starch because the sauce wasn't thick enough for me... but the taste was out of this world... Wonderful recipe and easy to make.
     
  4. A lovely flavour, Chef. I would definitely put this recipe in my cookbook and not be afraid to serve it to my guests. It cooks quickly, the meat is tender and juicy, but Chef, one very important detail seems to be missing. Your title is Peppered Chicked with Lemon-mushroom-wine Sauce; yet you do not mention what kind(s) of pepper in your list of ingredients, nor do you indicate the measurement of this pepper. Presumably it is ground pepper, but it could be cracked pepper also. It might even be chili pepper, or any of the fresh bell pepper varieties, Not until Step 5 in the Cooking Direction are we able to ascertain the kind of pepper you wish us to use. The quantity is still vague, other than your instructions to "sprinkle pepper generously". The recipe deserve full marks for your energy, your obvious enthusiasm, and creation Chef; unfortunately the oversight of the pepper, which is a critical ingredient, reduces the rating from 5 to 3.
     
  5. nice overall concept, preparation really ignores basic culinery techniques to accent flavor. Would never cut up chicken into pieces. The presentation of the item must look like, well you get the picture.
