Notes
*If your chicken breasts are on the larger side, you can cut them in half to help them cook through more quickly. Or pound them into a more even thickness.
**Use any mushrooms you like. I recommend button or cremini.
Tips:
- I recommend cooking this dish in a cast iron skillet since it can go right from the stovetop to the oven!
- Chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F before consuming.
- Serve with baked or mashed potatoes and broccoli, or with french fries.
