Chicken and mushrooms in Red Wine Sauce
The whole meal in one skillet
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 2 chicken fillets
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 8 baby portabella mushrooms quartered
- 1/2 medium size onion cut into strips
- 3 cloves garlic - sliced or more if you want
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 roma tomato seeded and chopped or cut into strips
- 1/2 lemon
- 3/4 cup red wine whatever kind I'm drinking at the moment - usually chianti
- 2 cups gnocchi pasta
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves or 1/2 tbsp dried
Instructions
- Put a skillet on at medium high and eyeball just enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Salt and pepper the chicken filets. Cook them about 3-5 minutes a side depending on their thickness. You can test them with a finger poke or when the juices run clear. Or read 165 on an instant read meat thermometer. I really recommend using a meat thermometer. They are not at all expensive and well worth the small investment.
- Chop and slice the veggies as the chicken is cooking. About the veggies. Beyond the mushrooms and the onions just let your tastes and imaginations run wild. Remove the filets to a dish that will catch the drippings.
- Put all of the veggies and the butter in the skillet and flip or toss them often as they cook. When they are starting to soften up add the wine.
- When the wine has reduced by about half put the chicken (and the drippings) and the gnocchi in the skillet. Turn the chicken over a few times and spoon the wine on the chicken a few times as the chicken warms back up. About 2 minutes. The gnocchi will be cooked when the chicken has warmed up.
- Sprinkle the basil on everything.And serve up your Chicken and Mushrooms in red wine Sauce. Don’t forget! Don’t leave any of the liquid in the skillet! Spoon it on the servings.
