MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF). Remove chicken from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet; cover chicken to keep warm.
• Add mushrooms and onions to drippings; cook 10 min., stirring occasionally. Add broth, garlic and thyme; stir. Cook 5 min.; stir in cheese.
• Top chicken with mushroom mixture and parsley.

20-MINUTE SKILLET MUSHROOM CHICKEN

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.
