Preparation

Step 1

1) Between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, flatten each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness. In shallow dish, mix flour, salt and pepper. Coat chicken with flour mixture; shake off excess flour.
2) In skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil up, then put in chicken breasts and fry for 5 min each side until golden brown
3) In another 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, mushrooms, & parsley in oil to saute, about 5 min, stirring frequently. Then add wine and butter and stir for about 4 more minutes. Then add the chicken stock and simmer on lower for a few more minutes.
4) Then add chicken to skillet. Cook about 3 - 4 min turning over for another 3 -4 min so sauce is absorbed into chicken. Serve with pasta if desired.
