# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and slice them into 1-inch thick cutlets. Dice 4 oz lean turkey ham. Slice 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely dice 1/2 yellow onion, and mince 2 cloves garlic. This initial prep is key for a smooth Delicious Turkey Ham and Mushroom Chicken Recipe.
02 -
Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
03 -
Add remaining 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil to the skillet. Add 1/2 yellow onion and 8 oz cremini mushrooms; cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
04 -
Add the diced 4 oz lean turkey ham to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing the ham to warm through and slightly crisp. This adds a wonderful savory depth to your Delicious Turkey Ham and Mushroom Chicken Recipe.
05 -
Sprinkle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour over the vegetables and ham, stirring for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth, then 1/2 cup 2% milk, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
06 -
Return the seared chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and the sauce has thickened. This ensures a tender Delicious Turkey Ham and Mushroom Chicken Recipe.
07 -
Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tsp fresh lemon juice. Garnish generously with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped. Serve your Delicious Turkey Ham and Mushroom Chicken Recipe immediately for the best flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed green beans, roasted asparagus, or a light quinoa salad.
02 -
For a richer sauce, you can substitute 2% milk with half-and-half or light cream. If cremini mushrooms aren't available, white button mushrooms work well too.
03 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk if the sauce is too thick.
04 -
Ensure your skillet is hot enough when searing the chicken to achieve a good golden crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook chicken in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
