Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of beef broth, 1 chicken bouillon cube, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon mustard powder, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme. Stir until the bouillon cube dissolves.
  2. In a sealable container, combine 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Shake until well mixed.
  3. Gently rinse 10 ounces of mushrooms and pat dry. Slice large mushrooms if necessary.
  4. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into 2-3 thinner portions; pound if they are too thick.
  5. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in all-purpose flour.
  7. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Remove excess oil from the skillet, pour in ½ cup dry white wine and add minced garlic. Cook until the wine reduces by half.
