Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lb (700g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
- 12 ounces fresh large mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken with oregano, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt ghee or butter. Add mushrooms, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned.
- Pour in chicken broth and let simmer for 2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles. For extra flair, sprinkle extra green onions on top. Thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier option. Swap ghee with olive oil for a dairy-free version.
