Ingredients

Scale

Seared Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless (~600-700g / 1.21.4 lb total)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 15g / 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Creamy Mushroom Garlic Sauce:

  • 300g / 10 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or Swiss brown)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (sub more chicken stock)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock, low sodium
  • 1 cup thickened / heavy cream, full fat
  • 1/2 cup parmesan, finely and freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp chives, finely sliced (optional – sub parsley, green onions, or omit)

To Serve:

  • Roasted potatoes

Instructions

    1. Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.

Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.

  1. Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover, and keep warm.
  2. Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
  3. Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
  4. Deglaze skillet: Add white wine – it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
  5. Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium, and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
  6. Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to the sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan for people to help themselves or transfer to a serving platter, if preferred.
  8. Sides: Ideal served with mashed potatoes or rice – something to soak in that amazing sauce!

Notes

  • Note 1: Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner steaks for quicker cooking.
  • Note 2: Substitute more chicken stock for the white wine if preferred.
  • Note 3: Use full-fat heavy cream for a rich and indulgent sauce.
  • Note 4: Freshly grated parmesan cheese adds a deliciously sharp flavor to the sauce.
  • Note 5: Serve the chicken and sauce with creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to enjoy every last drop of the delicious sauce!
