Equipment

  • large skillet
  • oven
  • meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

For chicken

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts 700g
  • Kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

For Mushroom Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
  • 12 ounce fresh large mushrooms, sliced
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees F. You will use it to keep the chicken warm.
  • Cut chicken breasts in halves the horizontal way to make thinner chicken cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oregano, paprika, and coriander in a small bowl. Season the chicken with the spice mixture on both sides.
  • In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook for another 3 minutes or so. To check for doneness, cut into a piece with a thin-bladed knife and take a peek. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof platter and put it in the oven.
  • In the same skillet, now add a tiny bit more extra virgin olive oil. Add ghee and melt. Sautee the mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add broth, green onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, spoon some of the sauce on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Mushroom sauce can be made with heavy cream. For meal prep, slice and chop veggies ahead. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
