Herbed Chicken with a Mushroom Truffle Gravy




Absolutely great combination of flavors. The Earthy tastes from the Mushroom & Truffle blend great in the gravy. I decided to make a gravy over a sauce simply because I have never done one. The tomato was a great compliment to the dish, by introducing an acidic flavor to help break up the flavors in a very good complimentary way.

The Gravy:
-Sweat the mushrooms
     - I believe this brings out the flavor of the mushrooms and concentrates the flavor into the juice that              is extracted, similar to an oil. Which ends up blending and flavoring the gravy well. The truffle oil then takes the gravy to the next level in terms of earthy flavors.

The Chicken:
- Dried Basil & Oregano on the chicken and then pan fried with a lid left on the pan to maintain a juicier chicken.
