Chicken Madeira Cheesecake Factory copycat with mushrooms, crisp tender asparagus, and creamy Madeira sauce. Easy restaurant quality dinner at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound medium asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1/4 cup butter, divided
- 1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup Madeira wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch until crisp tender and bright green, about 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer the asparagus to cold running water or an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well in a colander and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and sauté until the moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms turn golden brown.
- Stir in onion, garlic, and parsley and cook until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a plate and set aside.
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a paper towel to wipe the same skillet clean. Melt the remaining butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the same plate with the mushrooms.
- In the same skillet, add the Madeira wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Continue simmering until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Arrange the mushrooms and asparagus around the chicken. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Serve warm with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice, if desired.
