Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a slight simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, covering them with the sauce. Let simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
