Ingredients
Scale
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
10 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup dry apple vinegar (or chicken stock)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thin fillets. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper. Dust lightly with flour for added crispiness.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken fillets for about 2.5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the pan and cover them to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally until they turn golden at the edges.
Add minced garlic along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in dry apple vinegar (or chicken stock) to deglaze the pan. Allow it to bubble for about 30 seconds until mostly evaporated.
Add low-sodium chicken stock to the pan; bring to a boil then reduce heat for about one minute. Lower heat further to medium and stir in heavy cream. Let it simmer for two minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese into the sauce. Taste it and adjust seasoning as needed.
Return cooked chicken fillets back into the skillet. Heat through for approximately 30 seconds before serving hot, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
