- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(590g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •1 pinch salt ($0.02)
- •1 pinch pepper ($0.02)
- •Butter(30g)
- •Garlic(240g)
- •Low Sodium Chicken Broth(120g)
- •Cream, Heavy Whipping(120g)
- •Onions, French Fried, Canned(60g)

Instructions
- 1Rinse and slice the mushrooms. Set the sliced mushrooms aside.
- 2Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it is an even thickness, about ¾-inch thick. Cut each chicken breast into two pieces, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3Add one tablespoon of the butter to a large skillet and heat over medium. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Remove the chicken to a clean plate and cover with foil or an upside down plate to keep it warm.
- 4Add the second tablespoon of butter and the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the mushrooms until they release all their water and the skillet begins to dry up again. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute more.
- 5Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and stir to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
- 6Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon mushroom cream sauce over each piece. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes more, or until the sauce is slightly reduced. Top the chicken with the crispy fried onions and serve.
