Chicken Au Wolf
Serves 4 Ingredients ~~~~~~~~~ 1 lb chicken breast 1 c white wine (any, but chardonnay or chianti work well), 1/2 lb cremini or other mushrooms 1/4 lb butter, divided 1/2 cup shallots or any kind of onion 3/4 c cream 1/4 c vegetable stock pasta for 4 All seasonings are to taste: 1 1/2 tbl tarragon 2 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp red chilli 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp MSG Dice chicken and mushrooms into large or small chunks, finely chop mushrooms and shallots/onions. Divide shallots/onions into three. Start the water for the pasta. Sautee mushrooms and a little garlic/chilli in the butter on low heat for a few minutes; add first third of the shallots part way through, set aside. Brown chicken and some garlic in butter. Once chicken is almost done, add white wine (volume up to you - as a famous chef once said 'wine is a very important part of cooking... sometimes I EVEN ADD IT TO THE FOOd') boil off most of the wine, add most of the rest of your shallots and chilli/black pepper and a lot of tarragon. Begin cooking the pasta. When the wine is almost all evaporated, add the cooked mushrooms and a little veggie stock. Reduce and add single cream, more tarragon and the rest of the shallots/garlic. Cook until thickened. Serve on a bed of pasta.
