Cheesecake Factory Style Chicken Madeira

 
 This is what I always order at Cheesecake Factory, so of course I had to figure out how to make it at home.

 

 

I was happy with how this turned out, it was pretty tasty!

 

Chicken Madeira

 

48 oz chicken breasts, I use the Costco ones and cut them in half, that made them about 6 oz each, pound until flattened.

 

1 T olive oil

24 oz sliced mushrooms

2 t butter

14.5 oz can reduced sodium beef broth

3 1/4 cups Madeira wine

1 1/3 c part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

 

Brown chicken on both sides in olive oil, about 5 minutes each side.  Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.  Add butter and sauté mushrooms.  Add broth and wine.  Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce thickens (about 20 minutes), I usually add some sure gel to thicken it more because I like thick sauces.  Return chicken to pan to re-heat, basting with sauce.  Serve with asparagus.

The restaurant serves this with garlic cheese mashed potatoes, but I made this creamy noodle dish instead.
