The inspiration for this dish comes from Nigel Slater who has written a book full of ideas with very few ingredients and lots of flavour.
Wine suggestion: Madeira is a fortified Portuguese which tends to have good levels of acidity and is noted for lasting forever, even when open. This is a wine which is also nice to drink and would pair well with this dish, otherwise we would try a southern white Burgundy for a round, richer touch, or a very good New World Chardonnay where the ripeness and balance is is in great harmony.
Creamy Madeira Chicken – to serve 2
- 2 chicken breasts
- a little seasoned flour
- a thick slice of butter
- a glass of Madeira
- 4 tbsp double cream
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of cling film and bash with a rolling pin, or similar weapon, to flatten.
Dust the chicken with the seasoned flour.
Melt the butter in a shallow pan, add the chicken and cook briefly on both sides until golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add the Madeira to the pan and let it bubble while you scrape any chicken residue from the bottom of the pan. When the liquid has reduced by half, stir in the double cream, then season and simmer briefly.
