- Here's a fairly simple but quite delicious recipe for sauteed chicken
- breasts with shiitake (or other) mushrooms and herbs de provence. It
- was given to me by a friend and collegue -- I don't know whether it is
- original by him or not.

- Sauteed chicken breasts with shiitake and herbs de provence
-
- 3 whole chicken breasts, boned, skin on
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 2 Tbs unsalted butter
- 1 Tbs herbs de provence
- 1/4 Tsp fennel seed, crushed
- 1/3 cup minced shallot
- 1/2 lb shiitake, sliced
- 2 large minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 cups chicken stock
- 2 Tbs finely chopped chives
-
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. In large skillet,
- heat 1 Tbs olive oil and butter over moderately high heat. Sautee
- chicken, skin side down, for about 3 minutes, or until skin is
- golden. Turn the chicken, sprinkle with herbs and fennel, and cook
- it, covered, over moderate heat for 6-8 minutes (until springy).
- Transfer to platter and keep warm.
-
- Add the shallot to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the
- shiitake and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the wine and boil until it is reduced to 2 Tbs. Stir in the
- stock, and boil to reduce by half. Swirl in remaining butter and
- chives. Drain chicken juces from platter and stir into the sauce.
-
- Serves 6.
