• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless, chicken breast fillets
• 8 asparagus spears
• 4 mozzarella cheese slice
• Madeira Sauce:
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  3 cups Madeira wine
  2 cups beef stock
  1 tablespoon butter
  1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch
thickness; season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat oil in sauté pan; add chicken and sauté 4 to 6 minutes per
side, until lightly browned; remove from pan and wrap in foil to
keep warm.

3. Prepare Madeira sauce: Using the same pan, over medium heat, add
2 tablespoons oil and heat; add mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add Madeira wine, stock, butter and pepper; bring to boil, reduce
heat; simmer about 20 minutes or until sauce has reduced to 1/4 of
its original volume and is a dark brown color.

4. Meanwhile, bring a half saucepan of water to a boil; add salt;
return to boil; add asparagus and boil 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately
transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. The
asparagus should be cooked crisp-tender.

5. Transfer cooked chicken to baking pan; top with mozzarella
cheese and broil 3 to 4 minutes or until light brown spots begin to
appear on the cheese.

6. To serve, arrange 2 breasts on each plate, top each with 4
asparagus spears and spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of Madeira sauce over
each.
