ingredients

4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 ounces Canadian bacon cut in small strips
1 cup heavy cream
parsley sprigs

directions

Dust the chicken lightly with flour.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and when it is melted, place the chicken in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Place on a plate and cover lightly with foil.

Add the mushrooms and Canadian bacon to the skillet and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to soften. Stir in the cream.

Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cover the skillet (with a lid or foil) and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken to a serving plate and cover with foil.

Increase the heat under the skillet to medium high and bring to a boil. Let cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with parsley if desired.

  1. Irene James REVIEW:

    There is a 5 star restaurant near me that has served Charleston Chicken for many years. Diners will travel 1-2 hours for their Charleston Chicken. This recipe is every bit as good. Their only addition is to sprinkle chopped toasted pecans prior to serving.
