1 1/2 pounds chicken breast - boneless skinless, pounded to 1/4 inch thick (2 chicken breasts)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth
Serve over potatoes (I made real ones the day before and reheated to save time. You can use instant potatoes)
Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and pepper to small bowl and stir to combine.
Cut each chicken breast in half, lengthwise to make two thinner pieces. Pound each piece down to about 1/4 inch thick using meat mallet (I used cup). Season chicken on both sides with prepared seasoning mix.
Clean mushrooms.
Heat olive oil in large, deep skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the chicken.
Cook 3-5 minutes on each sides (depending on thickness) until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Make sure internal temperature of the chicken at its thickest part is at least 165 degrees
Remove the skillet from the heat. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate or pan and keep warm.
Do not wash the skillet. Place it back over medium heat and add the butter.
When the butter is melted and foaming add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, stirring well to mix. Cook the mushrooms for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Slowly add the chicken broth to the mushroom mixture, while stirring and gently scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Use a wooden spoon or spatula, moving in small circles around the pan.
Bring the mushroom sauce to a simmer and cook for approximately 5 minutes (or until it thickens), stirring occasionally. Taste the mushroom sauce and add salt and pepper, to taste, if needed.
Add the chicken back to the skillet. Turn it to coat with the mushroom sauce. Then, lower the heat to medium-low, cover and cook about 5 minutes to warm through.
