Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise to make 4 chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Mushroom Gravy
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 pound fresh baby bella mushrooms, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup (240 g) chicken broth, divided
- 1 ½ cups (357 g) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- mashed potatoes, for serving
- parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Chicken
- Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan, placing it onto a plate. Tent loosely to keep warm and set aside.
Mushroom Gravy
- To the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the butter. Once melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the mushrooms. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices and the liquid has reduced. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, ½ cup chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, dry mustard, and Italian seasoning.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and the reserved ½ cup chicken broth until fully combined. Add to the mushroom gravy mixture. Simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Nestle the cooked chicken into the mushroom gravy.
- Serve chicken and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
