The boneless chicken is cooked to perfection and the mushrooms add a nice earthy flavor to the dish. The yogurt adds a creamy element that takes this dish over the top.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons butter
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/4 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cup plain yogurt
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the flour.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes per side or until browned.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the chicken for 10 minutes additional per side or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.

Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the water and increase the heat to medium-high again. Bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the skillet.

Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the yogurt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the chicken with the sauce immediately.

recipe tips


Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken.

Use full-fat yogurt for the creamiest texture.

Adjust the seasoning of the sauce before serving to make sure it's balanced.

If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer it longer to reduce and thicken it.

common recipe questions


What type of chicken is best for this recipe?

Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves work best for this recipe as they cook quickly and evenly.

What types of mushrooms should I use?

You can use any type of fresh mushrooms you prefer, such as button, cremini, shiitake, or portobello.

Do I have to use plain yogurt?

While plain yogurt is traditional in this recipe, you can experiment with different flavors of yogurt or Greek yogurt.

What is the purpose of adding water to the skillet?

Adding water helps deglaze the skillet, picking up all the flavorful browned bits from cooking the chicken and mushrooms, which adds depth to the sauce.
