How to Make Alsatian Chicken With Beer
- Rinse chicken breasts and pat thoroughly dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts and cook until well browned on all sides, about 15-18 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside.
- Pour off excess fat from the skillet, reserving about 1 tablespoon.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small plate.
- Add minced shallots to the skillet and cook until softened, about 30-60 seconds.
- Pour in beef broth and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through, until cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and cover to keep warm.
- Skim any excess fat from the sauce.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and cooked mushrooms.
- Bring to a boil and boil vigorously until the sauce has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add any juices accumulated from the chicken.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in 1 tbsp butter until melted and smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot over buttered noodles.
