Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 200 grams Mushrooms, sliced
• 60 milliliters Whisky
• 250 milliliters Chicken stock
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dust them with all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil. Once the butter is foamy, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the chopped shallots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Carefully pour the whisky into the skillet. Allow it to simmer and reduce by half while using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Add the chicken stock to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, coating the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the chicken with its sauce immediately alongside steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
