INGREDIENTS
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz./175 g each)
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) "Tastebuds Exclusive" Black Truffle & Herb Seasoning, divided
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) pepper
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 2 tsp (10 mL) butter
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 10 oz. (300 g) mushrooms, sliced (about 4 cups/1 L)
- TIP: Instead of mushrooms, swap in diced bell pepper and carrots to toss in with the onion.
- ¼ cup (60 mL) white wine
- 1¼ cups (300 mL) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch
- 12 oz. (350 g) broccoli florets (about 3 cups/750 mL)
DIRECTIONS
- Season each chicken breast with 2 tsp (10 mL) of the seasoning and pepper.
- Heat the oil in the 5qt (4.7 L) Nonstick Saute Pan over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the chicken and sear on one side for 4–5 minutes, or until a golden-brown crust develops. Reduce to medium heat, flip the chicken, and cook for another 4–5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the butter and onion to the same pan. Cook until the onions are softened, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes.
TIP: For extra depth, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme with the mushrooms.
- Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 3–4 minutes. Add 1 cup (250 mL) of the broth and the remaining seasoning. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, for 2–3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the remaining ¼ cup (60 mL) of broth until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Stir the cornstarch mixture into mushroom sauce.
TIP: The cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce, while keeping this dish gluten-free. Or, you can add flour after the onions are sauteed, if you’d like.
- Nestle the chicken into the mushroom sauce (you can choose to keep the cooked chicken breasts whole or cut them into larger slices or bite-size pieces before adding into skillet) and evenly distribute the broccoli. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook over medium-low heat for 4 minutes, or just until the broccoli is tender and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
