Tips
- I recommend pounding the chicken breast with a mallet to even out the thickness. This ensures uniform cooking. You could also slice the chicken breast in half instead.
- Don't be shy with the seasonings. Make sure to season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and other spices. This enhances the flavors and create a well-balanced dish.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Take the time to properly sauté the onions and mushrooms before adding them to the dish. This step helps to bring out their flavors and ensures they are cooked to perfection.
- Cover the pan while cooking. This helps to trap steam and moisture, creating a moist and tender chicken breast.
