Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 chicken breasts with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 8 oz sliced white mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme to the skillet with mushrooms. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour 1/2 cup chicken broth into the skillet and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon mushrooms and garlic herb sauce over top, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors. Serve immediately.
