By clawson

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4-6 small chicken breasts, or 2-3 chicken breasts, trimmed to be around 6 oz apiece
• salt and pepper, to taste (about a pinch each)
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed (optional, slice into thick slices)
• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 tbsp italian herb seasoning blend
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• parsley or green onions, to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a large pan, heat olive oil on medium high until shimmery.
Add chicken.
Season with salt and pepper, and brown each side until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Add mushrooms to dish.
Let mushrooms brown with chicken, another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Add garlic and italian herb blend, let garlic soften and become fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add butter and stock to pan, taking care to scrape up any browned bits.
Let stock reduce, 4 minutes.
Stir in parmesan cheese and top with parsley or green onions to garnish.
Serve over pasta, rice, vegetables, or on its own.
