Ingredients
  

  • 2 large large chicken breasts Cut in half
  • Salt & pepper to taste Salt & pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flour for dredging Flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter Divided,
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 
  • ½ cup heavy/whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Season each cutlet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then coat lightly in flour.
  • Heat olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken cutlets and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the remaining two tablespoons of butter and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
  • Add minced garlic and pour in the chicken broth with balsamic vinegar. Allow it to bubble for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Add the heavy cream to the skillet and return the chicken, spooning sauce over it. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • Serve warm for the best taste.
  • Pair with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery noodles.
  • Consider adding spinach or artichokes for extra flavor.
