Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add onions and mushrooms, saute for 8–10 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir to coat. Gradually pour in chicken broth and add Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon gravy over the top and simmer for 2 more minutes.
6. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top and cover until melted.
7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best flavor.
