Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 tablespoon of oil then add the mushrooms to the pan. Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they become soft.
  2. Add the onions to the pan & cook them along with the mushrooms for about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic & parsley to the pan & sauté them for a minute or two. Then, transfer this mixture to a plate.
  3. Slice the chicken breast in lengthwise strips. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasonings, paprika, salt & pepper.
  4. In the saucepan, melt a tablespoon of butter. Add a tablespoon of oil as well & let the butter foam. Add the chicken breast to the pan & cook it on both sides for 3-4 minutes each until golden brown. When it is cooked, transfer it to the plate with the mushrooms.
  5. In the same pan, pour in the Madeira wine & bring it to a boil. When it has reduced to almost half its volume, add the beef stock & boil it for about 10 minutes until only ¼ of the original volume remains.
  6. Add the heavy cream to the pan & simmer it for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Sprinkle a pinch of salt & pepper into the pan to add flavor & stir.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the mushrooms. Top it with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the pan in the oven broiler and broil it for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has completely melted.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven. Place chicken on a serving platter & garnish with some parsley. Nice served with mashed potatoes.
