Sauteed Chicken in Lemon Sauce

Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. It has been a bit crazy here, too many things going on but here is a recipe i came up with a few weeks ago when i was faced with making chicken but did not want the same old thing.

Sauteed Chicken in Lemon sauce

Ingredients

1 3lb chicken cut up
4 to 6 table spoons of butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Madeira wine
1/3 cup of a dry white wine
1 large lemon, zest and juice
1 additional lemon as garnish
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 table spoons fresh parsley, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions

In a large skillet over medium high heat place the chicken that has been seasoned with salt and pepper along with the butter. I start out with 4 table spoons of butter and add the balance if the skillet gets a bit dry. Brown chicken on all sides, reduce heat and cover until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

Remove chicken from skillet, raise heat to medium high and deglaze the skillet with the madeira and the white wine. Whisking continuously, add the lemon zest, juice and the garlic. Once the sauce has reduced by about half, lower the heat and whisk in the cream and the parsley. Return chicken to skillet, coating the chicken on all sides, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to serving platter, whisking sauce, pour over the chicken and garish with the slice lemons and serve.
