Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz. mushrooms (button or baby bella)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and 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
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prep Work: Combine beef broth, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Combine cornstarch with 3 Tablespoons of cold water in a sealable container and shake to combine. Rinse and pat mushrooms dry. Slice chicken lengthwise into 2-3 thinner slices and pound to ½ inch thick.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Melt butter over medium-high heat and brown mushrooms for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Dredge/Sear the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper, dredge in flour and tap off excess. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Deglaze the Pan: Remove excess oil, add chicken broth substitute, butter substitute, and garlic. Use a spatula to clean the bottom of the pot and bubble gently until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
- Finish the Sauce: Add the beef broth mixture and boil for 10 minutes. Slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture until thickened. Reduce heat to low, stir in the cream and mushrooms. Return chicken and juices to the pot, spoon sauce on top, cover partially and heat for 5 minutes.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, chicken broth and butter are used instead of white wine. Serve with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles and roasted green beans.
