Ingredients
1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into cutlets
10 oz Cremini mushrooms, sliced into quarter-inch thick pieces
4 tbsp Unsalted butter
4 cloves Garlic, minced finely
0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Place chicken in the skillet and cook until golden brown for six minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate covered with foil.
Add two tablespoons of butter to the same skillet used for the chicken.
Sauté mushrooms until they turn deep brown and release their moisture.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for sixty seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release browned bits.
Return the chicken to the skillet, simmer briefly to combine, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure the mushrooms are sliced evenly to promote uniform browning.
Use a stainless steel or cast iron skillet to maximize the development of flavorful browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
Serve over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
