Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb (700g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon coriander
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
12 ounce fresh large mushrooms, (sliced)
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 green onions, (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
kosher salt and black pepper
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 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 tbsp 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.
