Check out everything you need to know to make this recipe, and don’t miss my pro tips below:

Slice the chicken into 2-3 thinner slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt/pepper and dredge in flour. Sear in olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden crust has developed. Set aside.

Add garlic and white wine to the same pot. “Clean” the pot with a silicone spatula. Reduce the liquid by half, about 4 minutes. Add beef broth, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, and seasonings. Bring to a gentle bubble and reduce for 10 minutes, uncovered.

Keep the gentle boil going and slowly add a slurry made from cornstarch + cold water. Stir to incorporate. Once thickened, reduce heat to low and stir in the cream, then the mushrooms.

Add the chicken back and spoon the sauce over it. Cover partially and heat for 5 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted green beans or asparagus.

Ingredients:

• 10 oz. mushrooms (button or baby bella work well)
• 2 Tablespoons salted butter
• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Salt/Pepper
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 ½ cups beef broth
• 1 chicken bouillon cube or 1 tsp better than bouillon
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (can sub Worcestershire sauce)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon EACH: mustard powder, dried thyme
• ½ cup dry white wine (see notes)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instruction:

1. Slice the chicken lengthwise into 2-3 thinner slices. Pound with a meat tenderizer if needed, the chicken will plump up more when cooked. Aim for ½ inch thick slices.
2. Melt butter over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Allow them to brown on each side for 3-4 minutes, undisturbed. Sauté in batches if needed, leaving space around them will allow them to crisp up more. Add a little more butter and/or a splash of olive oil during cooking if needed. Remove once golden brown and set aside on a plate.
3. Pro Tips: Make slight adjustments to the heat, (up or down), as needed during cooking. Add an additional splash of olive oil if needed throughout cooking. Try to leave the chicken undisturbed as it cooks to get a nice crusty sear.
4. Add the white wine and the garlic and set heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Let it bubble gently until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
5. Add the chicken back to the pot along with any juices from the plate. Spoon the sauce on top. Cover partially and let the chicken heat through for 5 minutes or so. Serve with mashed potatoes or Buttered Noodles and roasted green beans or asparagus.
