Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts halved lengthwise
  • Salt and ground black pepper to season
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh thyme chopped

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a low boil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Drain the water.
  • Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper. Use a hand mixer to blend the potatoes until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  • Season both sides of the chicken filets and with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour on both sides to coat. Set on a wire rack to rest.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and let them brown on each side without touching for 3-4 minutes. Don’t crowd them in the pan or they won’t brown well. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once melted, add the chicken and brown on each side, without moving for 3-4 minutes, depending on thickness. Once golden, transfer to a plate.
  • Pour in the white wine and garlic. Whisk the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes, to reduce slightly. Pour in the chicken broth, onion powder, and thyme. Whisk and heat back up to a near boil. Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk to combine. Pour in the heavy cream. If the gravy is too thick, you can thin it with a bit of water, if necessary.
  • Add the chicken and mushrooms back to the pan to heat up. Serve with potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme.
