There's a reason why we call this dish Five Star Chicken -- because it tastes like something you would order from a fancy restaurant. The good news here is that you don't have to spend Michelin Star prices to eat like the rich and famous! This easy chicken dish is super affordable, and can be made in the comfort of your own kitchen. Get ready for restaurant quality food at your kitchen table!
What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/2 pounds total)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
What to Do
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper; coat chicken evenly on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter; saute chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove to a platter and set aside.
- Add remaining ingredients except parsley to skillet and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Return chicken to skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until sauce thickens and chicken is warmed through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!
- If the chicken breasts are very thick, flatten them a bit by pounding with a kitchen mallet.
- We like to sop up the sauce with a side of our tasty Rice Pilaf!

This sounds awfully good. I think next time I cn get to the grocer I will buy the needed ingredients. Can you suggest what white wine to use as I have used some at times and it's wrecked the recipe.

Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay are all great choices! The Test Kitchen recommends using less expensive wines when cooking. :) Hope this helps!

This was quick and easy. Taste was ok but I think a little italian seasoning would improve the flavor of the sauce. Used boneless skinless thighs and cherry tomatoes as that is what I had on hand. Will make again.

Wonderful. My husband absolutely raved, so I fed him the leftovers. Thanks for the tarragon tip. Will try the next time, which I suspect will be sooner rather than later!

Used three breasts and kept the amounts of the sauce about the same (didn't measure broth and wine too precisely) but added a few extra firm portobello mushrooms. Dried parsley was all I had and it worked fine. Added a little extra black pepper sprinkled on beasts after browning. Do NOT sub anything for the butter--that's a vital part of the flavor. Good and easy dinner.

I made this tonight and no one liked it. I made it just as written but doubled the sauce. I wont make this again.

Very tasty! Next time I make it I will double the amount of liquid. (To make more tasty juice!) Otherwise I didn't find it necessary to make any significant changes.

This is a variation of poulet saut chasseur, the French equivalent of chicken cacciatore. The classic herb for this dish is tarragon! Try adding a teaspoon a couple of minute before serving...the aroma is heavenly!

I totally agree with adding tarragon, and dry works just fine. I also agree with increasing the broth as using a great crusty bread to sop it up is fantastic.

I despise Cilantro so no, it's not always cilantro over parsley. It's an herb people either love or hate..Cilantro, that is. The dish was very good the way it is but everyone tweeks to their own tastes.

I totally agree. Even a little cilantro is way too much and ruins a dish. Tastes like bitter soap - and I didn't say anything to get my mouth washed out for!

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU, I SUBSTITUTE FRESH CHOPPED PARSLEY ALWAYS IN PLACE OF CILANTRO.

I will try this soon. It sounds like a refreshing new way for chicken. I may try cilantro instead of parsley.
