Scale
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; add to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; sauté until mushrooms are tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
