Name: The Terrace's Champagne Chicken

God is not looking for people to work for Him; so much as He is looking for people who will let Him work for them. The gospel is not a Help Wanted ad. Neither is the call to Christian service. On the contrary, the gospel commands us to give up and hang out a Help Wanted sign (this is the basic meaning of prayer). Then the gospel promises that God will work for us if we do. He will not surrender the glory of being the Giver.

INSTRUCTIONS

SAUCE
CHICKEN
Sauce: Combine thyme, shallot, nutmeg, champagne and chicken stock and boil
rapidly to reduce by 3/4 (to about 1/2 cup). Add cream and simmer for 5
minutes. Add butter, a small piece at a time, whisking after each addition
just to incorporate butter into sauce. Add salt, pepper and vinegar.
Chicken: Dredge 4 chicken breasts in flour and shake to remove excess. Heat
olive oil in large skillet. Add chicken and mushrooms. When chicken is
browned on both sides (but not fully cooked), add champagne and artichoke
hearts. Cook to reduce champagne by half and remove chicken to plates. Top
with mushrooms, artichoke hearts and sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme, if
available.
Serves 4.
