Chicken Madeira

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. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 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. 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. 4

   Combine the wine and sour cream; pour over the chicken.

5. 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.
