Who says chicken breasts are boring and bland. Here’s an easy, flavorful recipe using chicken breasts.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced in half
- 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Flour for dredging (about 1/4 cup)
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 cup white wine
Directions
1. Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and swirl it around.
3. Put about 1/4 cup of flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
4. Add the breasts to the skillet and cook about 4 minutes on each side.
5. Cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
7. Add 1 pound sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates completely.
8. With the heat still on medium-high, add 1/2 cup of any wine to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
9. Add another tablespoon of butter and cook until the sauce is thickened; return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turn them in the sauce and serve.
