Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 227 g cremini mushrooms
  • ½ cup small onion (about half a medium onion)
  • 1 tsp garlic (1 large clove)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ½ tsp salt (divided)
  • ½ tsp pepper (divided)

Slurry:

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup 2% milk (or stock to eliminate dairy)

Instructions
 

  • Dice the onions and peel the garlic. Wash and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
    1/2 cup small onion, 1 tsp garlic, 227 g cremini mushrooms
  • Cut your chicken in half as if you are butterflying it. Your knife will be parallel to the cutting board. Then cut each of those pieces in half width-wise. This time your knife is perpendicular to the cutting board. Repeat the process for the other chicken breast.
    2 chicken breast
  • Optional: To tenderize the meat a little you can pound the chicken pieces. Add them to a large Ziploc bag, seal and pound them a few times. You don’t want to overdo it since the pieces are already quite thin.
  • Generously season each side of the chicken with salt and pepper.
    ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper
  • Add a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet. Once hot sear each piece of chicken for 1 minute on each side. Set aside once done. I had two batches.
    2 tbsp olive oil
  • Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat up. Add the onions and sauté for a minute.
    2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup small onion
  • Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
    227 g cremini mushrooms
  • Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
    1 tsp garlic
  • Next, add the chicken stock, ¼ tsp salt ad ¼ tsp pepper. Return the chicken back to the pot and bring everything to a boil. Then simmer for 10 minutes.
    2 cups chicken stock, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper
  • Make a slurry with milk and flour and whisk it into the sauce. You will need to move the chicken pieces out of the way to make sure you can evenly distribute the slurry. Cook for another few minutes until the sauce thickens.
    ¼ cup 2% milk, 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Serve with potatoes, barley or rice and your favourite vegetable.
