Enjoy this Copycat Cheesecake Factory Chicken Madeira for an easy dinner that brings restaurant copycat chicken recipe flavors home. Perfect for a weeknight or family dinner with rich Madeira wine sauce chicken and tender chicken breasts.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of saran wrap and gently pound them flat using a rolling pin or a flat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat half of the butter in a covered skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it’s browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet, then sauté mushrooms on medium-high heat for about 1 to 2 minutes before stirring and cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove mushrooms and place with the chicken.
Pour in Madeira wine and beef broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 to 12 minutes to reduce the sauce.
While the sauce cooks, blanch asparagus in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes or microwave it covered with a wet paper towel for 4 to 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan, layer mushrooms and asparagus on top, and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
Cover the chicken with mozzarella cheese and mushrooms, cover the pan, and let the cheese melt for 2 to 3 minutes.
