Chicken with Mushroom Sauce



I am a huge fan of chicken and tend to eat it 2-3 days a week.  Because of this I'm always looking for new ways to jazz it up.  Mushrooms are a quick and inexpensive additon to any dish and also add a nice suttle texture.  This meal comes together in no time and is when served will look like you spent hours slaving over the stove!  I served this over redskin mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans.  But if you are watching your carb intake, this also goes great over brown rice. 

Ingredients

2 tbsp EVOO - divided
1 - 16oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 clove garlic - minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 tsp all purpose flour
1/3 cup fat free chicken stock
1 tbsp salted butter
1/2 tsp fresh thyme - minced
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Slice the chicken breast in half, lengthwise, creating two fillets.  Heat a large skillet pan over medium-high heat.  Add 1 tbsp EVOO and swirl to coat the pan.  Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and pepper on both sides.  Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked through. 


Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. 


In the same pan add 1 tbsp EVOO and mushrooms.  Saute' for 4-5 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently.  Add the minced garlic and saute' for 1 minute.  Stir in the wine, scraping the pan to loosen the browned bits. 


Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until almost all the liquid evaporates.  Sprinkle the mixture with salt and flour, cooking and stirring for 30 seconds.  Add the broth and bring to a boil.  Cook 2-3 minutes or until slightly thick.  Remove the pan from heat and add the butter and thyme, stirring until the butter melts. 


Serve the chicken topped with the mushroom sauce.
