Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2-2½ pounds Chicken Breast (boneless and skinless) Ensure pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
  • 2 teaspoons Salt Adjust according to your taste.
  • Olive Oil For sautéing the chicken; canola oil is a suitable substitute.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds a rich, creamy base to the sauce.
  • 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced) Provides sweetness; shallots can be used as an alternative.
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms (sliced) Use thicker slices of white button or baby bella for good texture.
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour Essential for thickening the sauce; gluten-free flour can be a good substitute.
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the overall flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning Infuses the dish with aromatic herbal notes.
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper For a touch of seasoning; adjust to your liking.
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) Cream of Mushroom Soup Acts as a quick sauce base; consider reduced-sodium options for a healthier dish.
  • 1¼ cups Chicken Broth Adds depth of flavor; low-sodium broth can help manage salt intake.
For Garnish
  • Chopped Parsley Adds freshness and color to the finished dish.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Pat dry and season both sides generously with salt.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onion and mushrooms, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring continuously for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth.
  5. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes.
  7. Check chicken for doneness; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it sit off heat if sauce is too thin.
  8. Transfer chicken onto plates, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
