Breast of Chicken with Porcini Mushrooms

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
1/4 cup boiling water
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Flour for dredging
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup thinly sliced fresh crimini, shiitake or white button mushrooms
1/2 cup pinot noir or other red wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Place dried mushrooms in a small bowl, add boiling water; let stand 15 minutes. Drain and reserve liquid. Pat mushrooms dry and thinly slice.

Cut each chicken breast in half. Pound between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, to flatten to 1/4-inch thickness.

Lightly dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess.

Heat oil in a skillet. Brown chicken on both sides; set aside.

Reduce heat, add shallot and fresh mushrooms. Sauté 4 minutes, adding butter if mixture is sticking. Stir in crimini mushrooms, their reserved liquid, wine and stock; bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 8 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together cream and egg yolk. Whisk a small amount of sauce into egg mixture; whisk this mixture back into sauce.

Return chicken to sauce and heat through. Garnish with chopped chives. Serves 2.
