Recipe Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup Sutter Home Chardonnay
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups half and half
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Parsley for garnish

Recipe Directions:

Add butter to a large skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken in skillet and cook on both sides until cooked through and browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook until onion is translucent and soft. Add sliced mushrooms and stir. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When mushrooms are tender, add wine and cook off the wine for a few more minutes. Add half and half, stir and cook for 5 minutes, or until sauce reduces a bit and thickens.

Add chicken to the skillet to warm up. Garnish with parsley and serve.
