Chicken In Beer

This is a great recipe if you are entertaining. It was given to me by my great friend in the uk - mark aka mgb. It is a really rich dish and the presentation is fantastic. Everyone loves it, and is amazed that there is no stock in the sauce.

Steps

Saut the chicken pieces in 2 oz of butter and a little oil.
Add the shallots and the mushrooms and continue to cook.
When they are well browned , pour over the beer and the gin , season with salt and pepper and simmer on a gentle heat for about an hour , or until the chicken is tender.
Shortly before serving , arrange the chicken pieces in separate a deep dish and keep hot.
On a high heat , reduce the sauce by about half , then add the cream to thicken sauce , with the rest of the butter , whisking all the while.
Whisk in the guinness , then pour back over the chicken and sprinkle the parsley.
Serve with fresh pasta.
