Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2 4 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup ****ake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup fat free chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fat free sour cream
- ¼ cup scallions, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, minced
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
Season chicken with pepper and salt on both sides. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once or twice and adjusting the heat to prevent burning, until brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Add shallot and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2 minutes. Pour in wine simmer until almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 1-2 minutes. Add in broth and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sour cream and chives and scallions; return to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pan, turn to coat with sauce and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
