Ingredients
- Madeira Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken
- breast fillets
- 8 asparagus spears
- 4 mozzarella cheese slice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
- 3 cups Madeira wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black

Preparation
Step 1
1. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and
pound to ¼-inch thickness; season with salt and
pepper.
2. Heat oil in saute pan; add chicken and saute 4 to 6
minutes per side, until lightly browned; remove from
pan and wrap in foil to keep warm.
3. Prepare Madeira sauce: Using the same pan, over
medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat; add
mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Add Madeira
wine, stock, butter and pepper; bring to boil, reduce
heat; simmer about 20 minutes or until sauce has
reduced to ¼ of its original volume and is a dark
brown color.
4. Meanwhile, bring a half saucepan of water to a boil;
add salt; return to boil; add asparagus and boil 3 to
5 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice
water to stop the cooking process. The asparagus
should be cooked crisp-tender.
5. Transfer cooked chicken to baking pan; top with
mozzarella cheese and broil 3 to 4 minutes or until
light brown spots begin to appear on the cheese.
6. To serve, arrange 2 breasts on each plate, top each
with 4 asparagus spears and spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons
of Madeira sauce over each.
