1 1/4 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 black pepper
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp thyme leaves , a couple of sprigs, chopped
1 cup shallots, thinly sliced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock

#Return the skillet to the heat, turn heat back a bit, and add the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the mushrooms and brown stirring occasionally for about 4 to 5 minutes. Once the mushrooms are brown season with pepper then add the garlic, thyme and shallots. Cook stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes or until the shallots are wilted.
