How to make chicken and mushroom

1. Season the chicken and coat in flour.
2. Cook the chicken on both sides in a hot skillet until browned and cooked through; remove from the pan and set aside tented or in the microwave to stay warm.
3. Cook the mushrooms with thyme and olive oil until browned and soft.
4. Add the broth and cook with the mushrooms until reduced.
5. Return the chicken back to the pan with the mushrooms, spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with parsley.

Tips for cooking chicken with mushrooms

1. Use chicken breasts that have a similar thickness so that they cook evenly. You can cut large chicken breasts in half or use a meat mallet to flatten them if needed.
2. Don’t move the chicken while cooking it. If it doesn’t move, wait a little until you flip it because it should self release when cooked. Constantly flipping the chicken won’t get the crust nice and brown. You should only flip it once.
3. Don’t overcook the chicken so that it doesn’t become tough. If you have an instant read thermometer, it should register at 160F.
4. Mix up your mushrooms. I used button mushrooms for this recipe, but cremini, portobello or any others will work well and really help flavor the chicken. I like to cut them into slices, but you could also dice them.
