Ingredients
For the Skillet Chicken:
1 lb. Smart Chicken Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, butterflied
kosher salt, to season chicken
black pepper, to season chicken
1-2 tablespoons avocado oil, to sear chicken
For the Mushroom Gravy:
2 Tablespoons butter
16 ounces mushrooms, rinsed, well dried and sliced
2 sprigs thyme, fresh
2.5 Tablespoons cornstarch, + 1 tablespoon water to form slurry
3 cups chicken broth, low sodium optional
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
kosher salt, to taste
few turns cracked black pepper, to taste
Directions
Prep the Chicken: Butterfly the chicken breasts and season both sides with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
Pan sear the chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken cutlets. Sear for 4-6 minutes per side. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the chicken. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure doneness. Once the chicken cooked through, remove it from the pan.
Make The Mushroom Gravy: Using the same pan, make the gravy. Start by adding butter, mushrooms and thyme to the pan. Sauté the mushrooms until they are lightly browned.
Next, deglaze the pan with chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the broth to a light boil and slowly add the cornstarch slurry. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Gently stir until the gravy begins to thicken. Reduce the heat to medium/low and let the gravy simmer.
Assemble: Once the gravy reduces to your preferred thickness, nestle the chicken back in and serve hot.
