Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté 4 minced garlic cloves and 8 oz sliced wild mushrooms over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary and pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cook for 3 minutes until the broth reduces slightly and coats the mushrooms.
  4. Step 4: Lower heat to medium-low, return the chicken to the skillet, and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld flavors before serving.
