Chicken with Wine and Mushrooms

A quick and easy week night dinner. Chicken breasts are sauteed in a tangy wine and butter sauce and tossed with sauteed mushrooms. Serve over mashed potatoes with the side veg of your choice!

This recipe will serve two but you can scale it to serve as many as you like!

Chicken with Wine and Mushrooms
Serves 2

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes


Ingredients
2 cups mushrooms, sliced or quartered
1 clove garlic minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
¼ cup white wine

2 chicken breasts
½ cup flour
salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter (separated)
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup white wine

Directions
1. Start by slicing or quartering about 2 cups of mushrooms and mince 1 clove of garlic.

2. Add 1 tbsp of butter and a small splash of olive oil to a frying pan over medium heat. When butter is melted and foaming add 1 clove of garlic and the mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and continue to cook until browned and liquid has evaporated. Add 1/4 cup of white wine, whatever kind you like is fine, and continue to cook for a few more minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

3. Next, place 2 chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound flatter.


4. Dredge chicken in 1/2 cup flour and a pinch of salt and pepper and shake off excess.


5. In the same frying pan you cooked the mushrooms in add another tbsp of butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Drop in 2 cloves of garlic, minced.


6. Add chicken and cook 4 minutes each side or until nicely browned and cooked through.


7. Add 1/2 cup white wine to the pan. (Whoops, blurry!)


8.  Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and add 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp butter to the sauce.


9.  Add sauteed mushrooms to the pan and cook until heated through and sauce is slightly reduced, about 3-4 minutes.


Serve over mashed potatoes if desired!
