Creamy Mushroom Chicken 🍝
.
Ingredients:
• 1-2 lbs. chicken breasts
• Salt & pepper to taste + @thespicehouse porcini peppercorn rub
• Olive oil as needed
• 2 T butter
• 1 shallot, minced
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 package (8 oz.) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 sweet onion, sliced
• 2 T FLOUR (not baking powder) — I misspoke in the reel and didn’t want to redo the whole voiceover 😂🤷🏻‍♂️
• 1 ¼ C chicken stock
• 1 T balsamic vinegar
• ½ C heavy cream
• Parsley to garnish (optional)

Procedure:

1. Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add olive oil and allow it to heat up for a minute or two. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt & pepper to taste, then add into the pan. Sear on both sides until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees (you will likely need to do this in batches unless you are cooking with a large pan).
2. Add butter to the pan with the chicken drippings and reduce heat to medium. Once melted, add in the shallots and garlic, sauteing until the shallots are tender and the garlic is fragrant. At this point, add the mushrooms and onions into the skillet and season with additional salt & pepper. Add a little more olive oil in the skillet as well, then sauté until both additions become tender as well.
3. Next, add the flour into the skillet, mixing in with the vegetables until they are well-coated and the flour has effectively adhered to the vegetables (i.e. no excess white specs remaining in the pan). Add the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Allow this mixture to reduce until the desired consistency has been reached. Add the chicken back to the skillet to coat in the sauce.

To Finish:

1. Serve the creamy chicken over a bed of rice, potatoes, or pasta. Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
