Mushroom Lover's Chicken

Mushrooms pair with everything, and our easy skillet dish Mushroom Lover's Chicken is smothered with a flavorful mushroom sauce that is company-fancy but easy enough for weeknight dinners.

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 30 min

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/2 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 pound (8 ounces) fresh white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine, optional (see Note)

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper; mix well. Dip chicken in flour mixture, coating well.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden. Remove chicken to a plate and cover.
3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add onions and mushrooms; saute 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken broth and wine and bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Return chicken to skillet and cook 6 to 8 more minutes, or until no pink remains, turning chicken once.
4. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

Notes: 

• If you prefer not to use wine, simply substitute it with an additional 1/2 cup chicken broth.
