    This skillet chicken is one of my favorite ones to make when I want to take a break from pasta and rice casseroles. When I want something more elegant on the plate. But it's till have to be quick and easy. I absolutely love the garlicky mushroom sauce on chicken or pork chops. A simple garnish of chopped parsley and you are done and ready to eat. This looks like a weekend dish but since it really doesn't take much time to make, it's great for busy weeknights too.

    Ingredients:

    • 2 chicken breasts
    • salt and pepper
    • all-purpose flour
    • olive oil
    • butter
    • mushrooms
    • garlic
    • chicken stock
    • heavy cream (evaporated milk is fine too)

    How to make it

    • Simply slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise, season each piece and dredge in flour.
    • Heat up oil in a skillet. Cook chicken on both sides until nicely browned. Remove onto a plate.
    • Make the creamy mushroom sauce in the same pan by adding more oil, garlic and mushrooms and saute until soft and fragrant. , add the chicken back in.
    • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve. Since the chicken breast pieces are thin, they don't take much time to cook.

    Expert tips

    • Make sure to scrape every cooked on bits from the bottom of the pan, while adding the stock. That's where the flavor is.
    • For a lighter sauce, you can use half and half or a mixture of milk and cornstarch so it will still thicken to a sauce consistency. For that, use 1 and ½ teaspoon of cornstarch and ½ cup of milk.
    • Make sure to slice the chicken breasts evenly, so they will cook properly.

      I made his last night, using skim milk and corn starch in place of the heavy cream. My husband's comment was "this has to make it into the regular rotation" and I agreed. It is delicious and very easy.
