Set your oven to 450 degrees F.
Slice your chicken breast lengthwise in half, seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
Put your flour on a plate, dredge each piece in it, and then begin melting three tablespoons of butter in a large skillet on medium heat.
Cook your chicken three pieces at a time for three minutes per side.
Remove your chicken, set aside, and repeat the process with any additional chicken pieces.
Melt the rest of the butter in your pan, add mushrooms, and cook them for five minutes.
Add your chicken broth and wine to the skillet, cooking for around five minutes.

Ingredient Notes

Cremini mushrooms are great to use in this recipe. However, if you have other mushrooms at home, you can use what you already have.
Some people like to toss a few fresh spinach leaves in the skillet with the mushrooms. It’s optional!
If you don’t have chicken breast, you can use chicken thighs, but make sure they’re boneless and skinless.
If you don’t have chicken broth, you can use chicken bouillon with water to create a broth for this recipe.

Recipe Tips and Notes

Make sure you’re not overcooking the chicken breast when frying them in the skillet with the butter. Three minutes per side is enough time because you’ll be placing them in the oven later.
It’s best to use unsalted butter in this recipe to avoid making the dish taste too salty. If you don’t have butter, you can use margarine.
Slice your mushrooms into thin pieces or purchase them sliced in advance to save yourself some time.
Make sure that you’re not putting too many pieces of chicken in the skillet at one time because then the pieces won’t cook correctly.

What other kind of chicken can I use?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are a great substitute for the chicken breasts. Slice them in half lengthwise just as you would the breasts, and continue with the recipe as written.
