Ingredients
-
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
-
6 green onions, chopped, green and white parts
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 cup dry white wine or 1 cup chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon butter, use real butter for best flavor
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Season chicken breast as desired. I like salt and pepper but you could add any dried herbs you like as well. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown chicken breasts on both sides. Cover and cook until juices run clear. About 6-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove chicken and keep warm. If you find you need more oil use some cooking spray instead if you want to keep the fat and calories down.
- In the same skillet using the oil that remains, sauté mushrooms until tender. Add garlic and onions- green and white parts- and cook for a few minutes just to get them aromatic and cooked a little. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add butter and when it's melted stir in wine or broth- I recommend wine! -. (Personally I use one cup broth and one cup wine. I like Pinot Grigio but anything that isn't sweet is good!).
- In a small cup combine water and cornstarch and stir until smooth and dissolved. Add to skillet when broth starts to bubble.
- Cook and stir, keeping it just at a bubble until desired thickness. About 2-3 minutes.
- Return chicken to pan and heat through. Taste for seasoning and add some salt and pepper to taste if desired.
- Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
- NOTE: If you want even more sauce add 1 more cup of chicken broth to the wine or broth in step 3. Want the sauce thicker? Add more cornstarch in step 4.
