Description
A quick and flavorful skillet dish featuring juicy chicken breasts in a light, savory mushroom sauce made without cream—perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (700 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for sauce)
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep chicken warm after searing.
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oregano, paprika, and coriander and sprinkle evenly on both sides.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to oven-safe plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until softened and browned.
- Add chicken broth, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Return chicken to skillet and nestle into sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken, remove from heat, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- Deglaze pan with a splash of white wine for extra depth.
- Add lemon juice or cream at the end for variation.
- Mix mushroom types for a richer flavor profile.
