Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Sauce

  • 8 ounces Sliced Mushrooms
  • ¼ cup Red Wine
  • ½ cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Starch
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

Chicken

  • Pat dry chicken with a paper towel to allow it to brown more easily.
  • In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat chicken thoroughly in the flour mixture.
  • Add enough olive oil to a large skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Heat to medium-high heat, and once hot, add chicken. Cook until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes per side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Sauce

  • In the same large skillet, add the mushrooms. If there's too much oil in the pan from the chicken, drain and leave about 2 tablespoons of oil. Sauté mushrooms until tender. Set mushrooms aside.
  • Add minced garlic and thyme, cook for 1 minute.
  • Add red wine, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Make a slurry by combining cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour the slurry mixture into the pan and whisk until it thickens over high heat.
  • Add heavy cream and mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir and let the sauce heat up again. Add chicken back to the pan and spoon sauce over top.
