Champagne Chicken with Mushrooms

A super simple, fast dish to make for 2 or 4, yet very elegant.

INGREDIENTS

2 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin, trimmed, rinsed, patted dry, each sliced into 2 thin escalopes
½ cup (about 60 grams) flour
½ teaspoon salt plus more if needed
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons (45 grams) butter, margarine or half butter

or margarine and olive oil
2/3 cup (150 ml) Champagne brut or another sparkling wine (I use Crémant de Loire)
Juice of 1 lime
½ pound (250 grams) white mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, sliced
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Heat a non-reactive 10-inch (25 cm) skillet over medium heat & add the butter or margarine & the olive oil. Sauté the chicken until well browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Remove from the pan & return to plate while you prepare the mushrooms & the sauce.

Lower the heat under the skillet to medium-low and add the Champagne & the lime juice. The liquids will sizzle & boil up briefly; scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan then continue simmering the liquid for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off.

Add the mushrooms & the nutmeg to the Champagne & lime juice and stir until the nutmeg is distributed/dissolved and the mushrooms are under the liquid. Lower the heat & cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft & the sauce reduces

When I was 24, I found a lump in my breast. I went for consultation at the Breast Clinic at a famous hospital. The biopsy revealed a malignant tumor that had to be removed immediately.
