Ingredients
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning, click link for the recipe
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , sliced in half lengthwise through the middle to make 4 pieces of chicken
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound sliced baby bella mushrooms, or sliced white button mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices swiss cheese
Instructions
- Slice two large chicken breasts in half, lengthwise through the middle, so you have 4 pieces of chicken that are each approximately ½ inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and chicken seasoning. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour until they're fully coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, and the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a clean plate or cutting board.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and worcestershire sauce to the skillet, stir to combine everything in the skillet, then cook for 5 minutes without stirring.
- After 5 minutes, add the broth to the skillet and allow it to evaporate, this will take approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Once almost all of the liquid has cooked out of the skillet, add the minced garlic and black pepper to the skillet with the mushrooms.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, then slide the mushrooms to the side.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet and top with the mushrooms, then place a slice of swiss cheese on top of the mushrooms and chicken. Let it melt, then remove the chicken from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t have the chicken seasoning, I recommend using 1 teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon black pepper + 1 teaspoon garlic powder to season the flour before breading the chicken.
- If you really want to get cheesy, you can use two slices of Swiss cheese per piece of chicken.
- To make this recipe gluten free, use a gluten-free flour blend, or cornstarch, instead of all-purpose flour.
