TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1/2 pound)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon sliced green onion

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Dredge in 2 tablespoons flour. In a nonstick skillet, brown chicken in butter and oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove chicken and set aside.
    In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, green onion and garlic for 2 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with remaining flour and stir to blend. Gradually add broth and broth and wine or additional broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add the cream. Return chicken to skillet.
