Copycat Chicken Madeira (The Cheesecake Factory’s style)

Dinner decisions, handled: Copycat Chicken Madeira (The Cheesecake Factory’s style) pairs chicken breasts with cremini mushrooms for a 35-minute American dinner. At 480 calories and 48g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 lb Chicken breasts
• 8 oz Cremini mushrooms
• 3/4 cup Madeira wine
• 1 cup Low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Light butter
• 4 oz Part-skim mozzarella
• 1 lb Asparagus spears
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 4 sprays Olive oil spray

Steps

1. Pound the chicken to an even 1/2-inch thickness so it cooks through without drying out at the edges.
2. Sear in a hot oiled skillet 4 minutes per side until deeply golden, then set aside.
3. In the same pan, sear the mushrooms and garlic undisturbed for 2 minutes so they brown instead of steam.
4. Pour in the Madeira and scrape up every browned bit — that fond is where the restaurant flavor lives.
5. Add the broth and simmer 8 minutes until reduced by a third, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry and simmer 2 more minutes until glossy.
6. Return the chicken to the pan, top each piece with mozzarella, and broil 2 minutes until melted and spotted.
7. Microwave the asparagus with a splash of water 3 minutes for bright, crisp spears, and serve everything over cauliflower rice warmed in the sauce for the final minute.
