Drunk Mushroom Chicken

Dinner last night was a go-to favorite in this household.  While I love calling it "Drunk Mushroom Chicken" in all actuality it's just a White Wine, Mushroom Sauce that is absolutely delicious.  Easy to make because there aren't that many ingredients - this recipe takes a total of about 45 minutes to make (prep time included).  The recipe below is for 2 servings, but adjust accordingly for family portions.

Not the most accurate (or enticing) picture, but to be fair this was my first experiment with the dish.  It has since gotten a lot tastier.
Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (I used Baby Bella)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Olive oil (I used as a spray to coat the pan)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbl sage
  • 1 tbl oregano
  • salt
  • peper

Directions
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.  In a pan, spray (or pour) olive oil and cook the chicken on each side for 3 minutes.  Remove from the heat and keep covered to keep the chicken warm.
  • In the same pan, add more spray and place the onions and mushrooms over heat for 4-5 minutes.  Then, add the garlic for 1 additional minute.
  • Pour the broth and wine in, along with the spices, and let simmer for 15 minutes (or until sauce has reduced).  For the final 5 minutes place the chicken back in the saucepan.
  • Serve with side and enjoy!
Notes
  • We like to serve this with either bread or quinoa to soak up the additional sauce and steamed veggies.  (In retrospect, a great option would be asparagus).
