Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 30–35 min
4 chicken supremes (or skin-on boneless chicken breasts)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
200g (7 oz) mushrooms (button or mixed), sliced
100 ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
150 ml (2/3 cup) heavy cream
100g (3.5 oz) Val-Dieu cheese, cubed (rind removed if preferred)
Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
Sear the Chicken:
Season chicken supremes with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken, skin-side down first, for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the sauce).
Sauté the Mushrooms:
In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
Add chopped shallots and garlic, cook 1–2 mins until fragrant.
Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and softened (about 5–7 mins).
Deglaze and Simmer:
Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half (2–3 mins).
Lower heat, stir in the cream and the cubed Val-Dieu cheese.
Stir gently until cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Finish the Chicken:
Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 10–15 mins, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).
Serve:
Plate with sauce and mushrooms spooned generously over the top.
Garnish with fresh thyme or chopped parsley.
