Creamy White Wine Mushroom Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour for dredging
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have four thinner pieces. Sprinkle them with the garlic powder, season generously with salt & pepper on both sides, and then coat each piece in flour.
  2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the pan is hot, sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  3. Cook Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, sliced mushrooms, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the water from the mushrooms has been released and then cooked off.

  1. Add Garlic and Wine: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about a minute. Add in the white wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce bubble for about 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  2. Final Steps: Stir in the cream, then add the chicken back to the pan. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper as needed.
