Wild Morels Sauteed With Chicken Breasts Recipe - Cooking Index
This is a simple dish. The secret with this recipe, as it is with many, is to use very fine ingredients. Do not crowd the skillet. Do not overcook the chicken, which is a very easy mistake to make, and is one of the commonest mistakes made by new cooks. Always remember that most foods continue cooking for awhile after they're removed from the heat. This dish is really dressed up by serving it with risotto — or you can turn it into a hearty "comfort food" by serving it with garlic mashed potatoes.
Type: Chicken, Poultry, Vegetables| 1/2 lb | 227g / 8oz | Morels - washed, cleaned, |
| And trimmed | ||
| 1 lb | 454g / 16oz | Boneless skinless chicken breast |
| Salt - to taste | ||
| Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | 22ml | Olive oil - divided |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Chopped shallots |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | White wine |
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Butter |
To clean the morels, cut off the tough bottom of the stem and wash in three soaks of cold water. To the first soak, add 2 tablespoons of salt and remove any critters that may be drawn out.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a saute pan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil and add the chicken breasts. Do not crowd the pan. The chicken should be sauteed in batches. Saute the chicken until it's browned on both sides, then remove and set aside somewhere warm.
Use the same pan to saute the mushrooms. Start by adding the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the morels and saute for about 4 minutes, then add the shallots and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet, add the wine, then cover and simmer for about 3 minutes. Swirl in the butter and serve hot.
