A delightful chicken dish with a creamy sauce enhanced by sparkling wine, perfect for a special dinner.
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the mixture.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated for a consistent crust.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
Do not overcrowd the skillet to allow even browning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their juices.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the skillet and set aside. Clean the skillet of any remaining butter.
Cleaning the skillet ensures a smooth sauce.
Return the chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Add the heavy cream and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
Simmer gently to avoid curdling the cream.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving dish. Add the sparkling wine to the skillet and bring to a boil, reducing the sauce to a creamy consistency.
Stir constantly to prevent burning.
If desired, thicken the sauce by mixing the cornstarch with a small amount of the sauce and adding it back to the skillet.
Add the cornstarch mixture gradually to control the thickness.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms. Serve on heated plates and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
