Instructions
- 1 Place sausage in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat; poke holes into sausage with a fork. Cook until browned and firm, 5 to 7 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer to a plate; cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 3 Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 4 Heat oil in the same oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, skin-sides down; sear until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip; sear on opposite side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
- 5 Meanwhile, cut off mushrooms' base; separate into individual segments. Dice cooled sausage.
- 6 Add red onion, sausage, and mushrooms to the skillet; season with salt. Cook and stir until mixture begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Off heat, return chicken to the skillet, skin-sides up. Transfer skillet to the oven.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in centers and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- 8 Transfer chicken to serving plates. Cover skillet handle with a towel; place over high heat. Cook and stir sausage mixture until caramelized, about 1 minute. Pour in wine; simmer until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add butter and 1 tablespoon parsley; stir until butter melts.
- 9 Spoon sausage-mushroom sauce over chicken. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
