Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken thighs and place in a single layer in the skillet. Cook 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken juices run clear.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon of the oil/butter in the pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
  5. In a separate bowl, dissolve the corn starch in the beef broth*. Add to the mushroom mixture and cook about 5 minutes, or until the gravy is thickened and bubbly.
  6. Remove the gravy from the heat and add salt and pepper as desired.
  7. To serve, top chicken with mushroom gravy and sprinkle a generous portion of shredded cheese on top.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

For the beef broth, consider using Better Than Bouillon Beef Base. To make the broth, add about one teaspoon of the beef base to one cup of water and whisk to combine.
