Ingredients

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 6 oz (170 g)
8 oz / 225 g button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic

Instructions

1. Trim and pat dry the chicken breasts; slice large mushrooms if desired and mince the garlic.
2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the chicken breasts and sear on the first side until a golden crust forms, about 4–6 minutes.
3. Flip the chicken, reduce heat to medium, add the mushrooms to the pan around the chicken and cook until the mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 4 minutes.
4. Push mushrooms around the chicken, add the minced garlic to the pan, and cook until fragrant, about 30–60 seconds.
5. Cover the pan and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 6–8 more minutes depending on thickness.
6. Rest the chicken 3–5 minutes before slicing and serve topped with the garlic mushrooms.
