Directions
Follow This Recipe
- Pound the chicken until each breast is about 1/4 inch thick. Trim flattened chicken into thirds. Set aside
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium or large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Combine the flour, seasoning, and salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Toss the chicken in the flour mixture until coated. Shake off excess.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Pan-fry the coated chicken for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms back to the pan on medium high heat.
- Add the garlic and wine or broth - If using wine, let the mixture simmer gently to reduce by half, stirring occasionally. After 10-15 minutes, add the cornstarch, cream, and salt to the sauce mixture - it should start to thicken slightly.
- Add Chicken back into sauce and mushrooms. Top with tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes have softened a bit. Serve with fresh parsley and over potatoes or noodles. ProTips
- This is such an easy fresh recipe. You can also make this ahead in a crockpot in a pinch, though it’s better on the stove top. Add chicken, mushrooms, garlic and 1/2 cup of beef stock to the crockpot and cook on low for 5 hours. later add the heavy cream, tomatoes and a few TBS of marsala or sherry. Add cornstartch and a bit off beef stock mixed; into the pot a;nd stir to thicken a bit.
- I like my tomatoes under roasted and just ready to burst so I don’t like them in for too long. If you like yours softer, put them in for longer.
