Chicken with Porcini Mushroom Sauce
Yield: 8 Servings
½ Ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 Quart Brown Chicken Stock
½ Shallot, chopped
¼ Cup dry white wine
1 Teaspoon chopped garlic
1 Teaspoon dried basil leaves
¼ Teaspoon fennel seeds
Pinch red pepper flakes
¾ Teaspoon cornstarch
Salt and ground white pepper
8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
In small bowl, pour 1-cup hot water over mushrooms. Let soak at least 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms; set aside.
Preheat oven to 350. In medium saucepan, boil stock until it is reduced to 2 cups.
Spray medium nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until translucent. Stir in wine, garlic, basil, fennel, and pepper flakes; bring to a simmer and cook until wine is almost evaporated. Add reserved mushroom soaking liquid; simmer until liquid is reduced to about ¼ cup. Add reduced stock; simmer 10 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in small amount of cold water; stir into stock mixture. Boil until mixture thickens slightly. Strain sauce through fine sieve; discard solids. Stir in reserved mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray chicken breast lightly with vegetable oil spray; add to hot skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer chicken to roasting pan (or leave in skillet if it has ovenproof handle) and bake 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
To serve, top each chicken breast with ¼ cup mushroom sauce.
