Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.25 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt divide for chicken and sauce
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, quartered
- 2.5 tsp garlic, finely minced
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat chicken dry. Toss with half the salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken in a single layer until browned and cooked through, 5–6 minutes, stirring once. Transfer to a bowl.
- Melt butter in the same skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and most liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and the remaining seasoning. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Deglaze with broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire. Scrape up browned bits and simmer to reduce slightly, 1–2 minutes.
- Return chicken and any juices to the pan. Toss to coat and warm through. Stir in lemon juice.
- Finish with parsley and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust salt if needed; serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Swap thyme for Italian seasoning, or add a splash of dry white wine with the broth. Serving tip: Spear with toothpicks for appetizers or spoon over rice or mashed potatoes. Store leftovers airtight up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth.
