  • Total Time: 30
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup non-alcoholic grape juice
  • 3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; remove to plate and tent with foil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining oil and sauté mushrooms until browned.
  5. Add shallot and garlic, cooking for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour in grape juice and chicken stock, scraping the pan to release browned bits.
  7. Simmer until liquid reduces by half.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice and return chicken to pan to coat in sauce.
  9. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • If your sauce is too thin, simmer for an extra 2 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • You can add more butter at the end for an extra glossy finish.
