Method

  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and white wine, scraping up browned bits, and reduce liquid by half for about 4 minutes.
  4. Add beef broth, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, thyme, and parsley; bring to a gentle boil and reduce for 10 minutes uncover; stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken, then reduce heat to low and mix in cream and sautéed mushrooms.
  5. Add seared chicken back to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, cover partially, and heat for 5 minutes before serving with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.

Notes

To enhance flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile. This dish is wonderful served with a side of roasted green beans or asparagus and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. For best reheating results, avoid microwaving. Instead, reheat on the stovetop or in the oven, adding a splash of cream or broth if necessary for a smooth sauce.
