California Champagne Chicken


Seasoned chicken breasts with a creamy champagne sauce make a beautiful, delicious meal.

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 25 Minutes
COOK TIME: 25 Minutes

Ingredients

1.5 Tbsp. flour
1 Tsp. salt
1 Tsp. tarragon, finely crushed
� Tsp. white pepper (although I usually just use black pepper)
� Tsp. paprika
4 boneless chicken breasts (if they're thick, I generally pound them to be no more than 1" thick)
3 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup Champagne (a sweeter Champagne, like Asti, works best)
1 cup whipping cream
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions

	Step 1: Looking for Champagne?Visit our Liquor Store

	Step 2: Shake chicken in a zip-top bag with flour, salt, tarragon, pepper and paprika.

	Step 3: Heat 2 Tbsp. butter with 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken & brown lightly on both sides. Pour Champagne into pan, set lid ajar and simmer until chicken is done and Champagne is reduced to half, about 15 to 20 minutes).

	Step 4: Heat remaining Tbsp. of butter in a small skillet and lightly brown mushrooms

	Step 5: Remove chicken to a warm platter and blot excess liquid. Sprinkle mushrooms on top and keep warm in oven, if desired.

	Step 6: Add any remaining flour from bag to skillet, add whipping cream and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Pour over chicken and serve. Good with rice (Serves 4; for a double recipe, use only 1.5 cups of whipping cream)
