Creamy Chicken Madeira Recipe

Cheesecake Factory is easily one of my top 3 favorite restaurants. I love the variety in their menu and how hearty everything is! Although, I really need to branch out because I get their chicken Madeira almost every time I go. Because I love it so much, I decided to try making it at home for the whole family! It turned out better than I could have ever hoped! It all starts with chicken breasts seasoned with Italian herbs. Then, they get smothered with the most amazing, creamy Madeira wine sauce! Top it all off with flavorful mushrooms, melty mozzarella, tender asparagus, and voila! A knockout dinner! I like to add my Chicken Madeira to a bed of mashed potatoes. The creamy sauce doubles as a gravy! And as if you’re not already convinced, this tasty dinner is a one-pan recipe so cleanup is a breeze!

Asparagus: Look for a stalk with vibrant green color, free of brown spots or blemishes. Chicken Breast: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts here.

Madeira wine is what gives this dish its distinct flavor.

Check Temperature: I always like to use a thermometer to gauge if my chicken is done or not. Your chicken is ready to eat when internal temperatures reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook it any longer than that and it may become dry.Switch Vegetables: Instead of asparagus, you can use other vegetables like green beans or broccoli.Adding Cream: If you’re wanting a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream to your beef broth mixture.

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container for 3-4 days.In the Freezer: Store chicken, vegetables, and any extra sauce in separate freezer bags. They’ll stay good for 2-3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight before use.Reheating: I recommend reheating your chicken and vegetables in a covered skillet to retain moisture. Warm on medium-low heat until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
