Chicken Breasts With Savory Mushroom Sauce

This is an adaptation of a delicious recipe found on a website. My husband loves the flavor! It can be a little salty so use low sodium chicken broth if you like!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 2 -4  boneless skinless chicken breasts (Trimmed of visible fat)
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 1  cup chicken broth, plus
• 1  cup water
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 2 (4 ounce) cans mushrooms (or you can use fresh)
• 1  cup  diced onion
• 1⁄2 cup white wine
• 1⁄2 cup half-and-half (fat free is okay also)
•  fresh ground pepper

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and brown chicken breasts on both sides.
2. Once chicken is golden brown, add the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce temperature. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes based on thickness of chicken breasts.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan, melt the butter on medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms to butter and saute' until onions are clear.
4. Add the white wine to the onion/mushroom mixture. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Some liquid will boil off.
5. When the chicken is fully cooked, pour the remaining chicken broth into the onion/mushroom mixture and stir together until slightly thickened.
6. Add the half and half to the broth mixture and stir until bubbling and thickened. About 2-3 minutes.
7. Add chicken breasts to mushroom sauce and heat through. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and serve.
