make it
For the sauce: Clean, peel and dice the black truffles and set aside. In a small nonstick pan, heat the butter until it melts, add the sliced black truffles and braise in the butter for about 10 minutes. Add the brandy and let the alcohol burn off. Mix the Madiera with the cornstarch to thicken, then add to the sauce until fully incorporated. Set aside.
For the chicken: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken breast generously with the kosher salt on both sides. In a large oven proof sauté pan, heat the butter until melted. Add the seasoned chicken breasts, skin side down, and cook until slightly browned. Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for an additional 8 minutes, or until the meat is cooked thoroughly; set aside the chicken on a separate plate. Using the same sauté pan, add the chopped shallots and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sliced asparagus and mushrooms and sauté until crisp-tender. Add the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper. To serve: Placed the sautéed vegetables in the middle of the dish, place chicken skin side up on the top vegetables. Pour the sauce around the vegetables and serve. Serves 4
