Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz mushrooms (button or baby bella), sliced
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3–4 tbsp olive oil
- 2½ cups beef broth
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (or 1 tsp concentrated bouillon)
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp each: mustard powder, dried thyme
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Combine beef broth, bouillon, soy sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, and thyme. Set aside. Mix cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold water and set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook undisturbed 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, dredge lightly in flour.
- Heat olive oil in the same skillet and sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth, butter, and garlic. Scrape up browned bits and simmer 3–4 minutes.
- Add prepared broth mixture and simmer 10 minutes.
- Stir in cornstarch slurry until thickened. Reduce heat to low and add cream and mushrooms.
- Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over top, partially cover, and simmer 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cooking mushrooms separately enhances their flavor and texture.
- Keep heat low when adding cream to prevent separation.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or roasted vegetables.
- Using low-sodium broth and soy sauce helps control salt levels.
