What Kind Of Skillet Do You Need?

Of course you need a large skillet to start. You can use a cast iron skillet if that’s what you prefer, or just a stainless skillet will work! I recommend your skillet for this recipe be 10- inches in diameter. I used my All Clad skillet in the images because it’s large and deep!

Ingredients You Will Need:

This recipe is very, very simple. Here’s what you will need, and chances are you have most, if not all, of these things in your kitchen now.

Boneless chicken breasts, and yes you could also use bonless thighs if you prefer! Bread crumbs. I use Italian breadcrumbs because it’s a quick way yo add flavor, but you can use unseasoned or panko if that’s what you have! Chicken broth Tomato paste Dried seasonings: oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper Garlic Olive oil. I recommend light olive oil as opposed to extra virgin in this recipe, since you’re just using it to fry. Mushrooms…and yes you can omit those if mushrooms aren’t your thing! Fresh parsley isn’t a requirement, but it is a nice garnish and looks pretty! Heavy cream is also not required, but can give this dish a slightly creamy and silky texture. You could also use cream cheese!

Tips When Making Chicken in a Skillet

Be sure to season your chicken breasts well with salt and pepper! When you brown the chicken first you need to do this at a higher heat. The chicken will get brown and flavorful, but won’t be cooked all the way through. This is ok, as the chicken will cook in the sauce The sauce is simple just chicken broth, tomato paste and seasonings. You can adapt the seasonings as you would like! Adding the mushrooms is a delicious option if you like them. If you don’t you can leave them out…or even sun in another type of veggie. Adding a splash of cream at the end is a nice way to make your sauce rich and hearty, but it’s not necessary!

Do You Have To Bread the Chicken?

If you are watching your carbs and would prefer not to bread the chicken, no problem! You can absolutely make this with naked chicken. It works perfectly and will brown up just as nicely!
