Cooking Steps

• Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
• Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
• Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 ½ minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
• In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
• Add white wine – it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
• Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
• Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly). Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, or transfer to serving platter.
