Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 10 oz mushrooms (button or baby bella)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well. Gradually whisk in beef broth to avoid lumps, then add soy sauce, spices, white wine, and bouillon cube. Bring to a simmer.
- Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; stir into the sauce until thickened. Add heavy cream for richness.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes before serving.
