Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken breasts skinless and boneless
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar optional
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts with dried rosemary, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they begin to release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the finely chopped onion and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Pour in the white vinegar and sugar (optional). Stir well and let it cook for a couple of minutes to reduce and thicken slightly.
  • Add the chicken stock and heavy cream to the pan. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by about half.
  • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan and let them simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors and heat though.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, and serve.
