For serving:
1lbasparagus stalkstrimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1tablespoonchopped parsley
cooking spray
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan; place on a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 4-5 minutes.
Add the wine and beef broth to the pan; simmer for 7-9 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.
Add the cornstarch and stir until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in the butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Preheat the broiler. Place the chicken and asparagus on a sheet pan coated in cooking spray. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper and sprinkle the cheese over the chicken.
Broil for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted and asparagus is just tender. Remove the pan from the oven. Place a chicken breast and some asparagus onto each of 4 plates.
Pour the mushroom sauce over each chicken breast and serve, topped with parsley.
