Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour divided
- 1 pound thin-sliced boneless chicken breast (4 pieces)
- ½ teaspoon salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 8 ounces white or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms quartered
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup half-and-half
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and toss in the mushrooms with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir frequently until softened, about 4-6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, roughly 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of flour over the mushrooms, stirring to coat evenly.
- Pour in the white wine and cook for 1 minute, allowing most of the liquid to evaporate and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add the half-and-half to the pan, stirring until bubbling and thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve the sauce over the chicken and enjoy!
