How to Make Angry Chicken

  1. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or cook in a skillet with 1 tbsp oil until cooked through.
  3. While chicken cooks, sauté 8 oz sliced mushrooms in 2 tbsp butter or olive oil until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. For the sauce: In a saucepan, combine 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup dry white wine.
  5. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
  6. Add 1 cup heavy cream and increase heat to a low boil.
  7. Reduce heat to a simmer, stir in 1-2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste), and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Reduce heat to low, stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese until smooth and melted.
  9. Add cooked chicken and mushrooms to the sauce; stir gently to coat.
  10. Serve the chicken and sauce over 1 lb cooked pasta or a bed of rice. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
