Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms chopped small
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken into 1/2-inch thick fillets with a tenderizer for faster cooking.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the chicken and brown for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and tent loosely with foil.
  • Add the mushrooms and saute until they are soft, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Whisk in the flour and then very slowly whisk in the chicken stock. Add just a few tablespoons at a time, whisking to combine it, until it is completely added.
  • Whisk in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken back to the skillet.
  • Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, over low heat for 13 to 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees with an instant read thermometer. Serve and enjoy!
