Chicken Madeira

Recipe from Great Good Food Lucious Lower-Fat Cooking by Julie Russo.

• Ready In: 1 hr 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  whole boneless skinless chicken breasts, and split in half
•  salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  lb  thinly sliced mushroom
• 1⁄2 cup  thinly sliced onion
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1⁄4 cup madeira wine
• 1⁄4 cup low-fat sour cream
• 1  tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1⁄2 cup  breadcrumbs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Sprinkle both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the bottom of a 8 x 8-inch baking dish with vegetable or canola oil. Place the breasts in the dish in one layer.
3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, place 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon, and distribute evenly over the chicken. Add the remaining oil to the skillet; saute the onion and garlic until transparent, about 4 minutes, and place over mushrooms.
4. Combine the wine and sour cream; pour over the chicken.
5. Discard the oil and wipe the skillet clean with paper towel. Melt the butter in the skillet; add the crumbs and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the chicken breasts. Cover the dish with foil, and bake for exactly 1 hour. Serve immediately.
