Baked Mushroom Chicken
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 cup gluten-free flour + 1 Tbsp gluten-free flour for the sauce or arrowroot
- 2 Tbsps clarified butter or ghee, divided
- 1 lb mixed mushrooms, sliced if needed (use any of your favorites, I used champignon and shimeji)
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken bone broth or stock
- 1/3 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- fresh curly parsley, chopped
- avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.
- Spray or brush a 9 x 13 baking dish with avocado oil.
- If your chicken breasts are thick, then slice them in half right down the center to create nice thin breasts so they cook evenly.
- Season the chicken with sea salt and pepper on both sides and add the flour to a shallow dish.
- Lightly coat your chicken on all sides with flour.
- Melt 1 Tablespoon of your ghee/butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chicken in 2 separate batches and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown then flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter for your second batch.
- Transfer your golden brown chicken to your prepared baking dish.
- In the same preheated skillet add in your mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- In a small bowl whisk the stock/broth together with 1 Tablespoon of arrowroot flour until there are no visible lumps.
- Pour this stock mixture into your skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour this mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish then sprinklewith cheese.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or just until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
