Ingredients

10 oz mushrooms (button or baby bella)

2 tablespoons salted butter

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup all-purpose flour

3–4 tablespoons olive oil

2 ½ cups beef broth

1 chicken bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon

1 teaspoon soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon mustard powder

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ cup dry white wine

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Slice mushrooms and set aside.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, season with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in flour.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté mushrooms in the same skillet with a little more olive oil if needed, 4–5 minutes until browned.
  5. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in white wine, scraping browned bits, and reduce by half.
  7. Stir in beef broth, bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Whisk cornstarch with a little cold water to make a slurry. Stir into sauce to thicken slightly.
  9. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5–7 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
  10. Stir in heavy cream until smooth. Serve chicken topped with mushroom sauce.

Notes

Spinach or peas can be added for extra veggies.

Swap white wine with sherry for deeper flavor.

Add Parmesan cheese for richness.

Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.

For dairy-free, replace butter with olive oil and cream with coconut cream.

If sauce needs thickening, add more cornstarch slurry or flour.
