My husband loves the flavor. It can be a little salty so use low sodium chicken broth if you like. Ingredients:
2 -4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (trimmed of visible fat) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup chicken broth, plus |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 (4 ounce) cans mushrooms (or you can use fresh) |
1 cup diced onion |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/2 cup half-and-half (fat free is okay also) |
fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown chicken breasts on both sides.
2. Once chicken is golden brown, add the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce temperature. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes based on thickness of chicken breasts.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan, melt the butter on medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms to butter and saute' until onions are clear.
4. Add the white wine to the onion/mushroom mixture. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Some liquid will boil off.
5. When the chicken is fully cooked, pour the remaining chicken broth into the onion/mushroom mixture and stir together until slightly thickened.
6. Add the half and half to the broth mixture and stir until bubbling and thickened. About 2-3 minutes.
7. Add chicken breasts to mushroom sauce and heat through. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and serve.
