Saute Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

Clarified butter                40g

Chicken breasts

Boneless, skinless          4no

Salt                                        to taste

White pepper                      to taste

R. Flour                                for dredging

Mushrooms, sliced          100g

Lemon juice                        10ml

Suprême sauce, hot        200m

Method

1. Add clarified butter to a sauté pan over moderate heat.

2. Season the chicken breasts and dredge in flour. Shake off excess flour.

3. Place the breasts in the hot pan.

4. Sauté over moderate heat until lightly browned and about half cooked. The heat must be regulated so the chicken doesn’t brown too fast.

5. Turn the chicken over and complete the cooking.

6. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on hot dinner plates for service. Keep warm.

7. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté briefly. After a few seconds, before the mushrooms start to darken, add the lemon juice. Toss the mushrooms in the pan as they sauté.

8. Add the suprême sauce to the pan and simmer for a few minutes, until reduced to the proper consistency. (The juices from the mushrooms will dilute the sauce.)

9. Ladle sauce over each portion and serve immediately.
