STOP making dry chicken breast! This is HOW you make JUICY chicken #shorts #viralshorts #chicken
✨You can find the full printable recipe with tips and directions linked here
Chicken breast should always be juicy, never dry, or overcooked. The truth is, if the chicken breast is dry, you are most likely overcooking it. You are also most likely overcooking it because you are not using a meat tenderizer to even it out. Chicken breast is always thicker on one side and thinner on the other side so if you are not using a meat tenderizer to flatten it out, one side will always be super dry and the other side will take way longer to cook. Today I’m showing you a very simple way to make juicy chicken breast if you don’t have the time but for optimal results, I highly recommend you marinate any meat you work with overnight. Marinating chicken overnight will give you the best results but if you don’t have the time I’m showing you how to make a very delicious and juicy chicken recipe regardless.
INGREDIENTS:
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded into equal sized filets salt to taste
lemon pepper seasoning to taste
avocado oil for the pan + a drizzle on the chicken

For The Chicken -
2 tsp (10ml) - Olive Oil For Chicken Seasoning
8 - Large Chicken Thigh, Boneless & Skinless
1 tsp (2.5g) - Onion Powder
1 tsp (2.5g) - Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp (1g) - Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp (1g) - Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper
1 Tbsp (20ml) - Olive Oil For Cooking Chicken
Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce -
1 Tbsp (14g) - Unsalted Butter
2 - Shallots, Finely Diced
300g (10.5oz) - Swiss Brown Mushrooms
100ml (100g) - Dry White Wine
6 - Garlic Cloves, Minced
1g (0.03oz) - Fresh Tarragon
3g (0.1oz) - Fresh Parsley
300g (10.5oz) - Thickened Cream
50g (1.7oz) - Parmigiano Reggiano, Freshly Grated
Instructions -
1. Add chicken, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
2. Add the remaining olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the seasoned chicken in batches for 6 minutes on each side or until deeply golden and cooked through. Remove, set aside and repeat with the remaining batch.
3. Add the unsalted butter and shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add in the mushrooms and salt to taste and sauté for 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 45 seconds to 1 minute, mixing the whole time. Deglaze with the wine or chicken stock and cook for 1 1/2 minutes or until reduced by half.
4. Add in the cream, mix well and bring to a simmer; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5-6 minutes or until thickened. Add the parmesan cheese, flat-leaf parsley, tarragon and seasoning to taste. Mix to combine. Add the chicken back into the sauce with the resting juices and coat the chicken well. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from the stovetop.
5. Serve in bowls or plates and garnish with flat-leaf parsley, cracked black pepper and parmesan cheese. Dig in.
Recipe Notes -
I used chicken stock as I needed to use up ingredients but white wine can be used as a replacement.
This dish is best eaten fresh as cream based sauce can potentially split upon reheating. If you did wish to store it, it will last 2 days in the fridge. I don’t recommend freezing it.
This recipe is amazing on its own but can also be served with all of your favourite sides such as mashed potato, pasta, rice and a wide range of different vegetables.
The fresh herbs are optional as well as the parmesan cheese but add incredible flavour. If you can’t source fresh herbs they can be substituted for their dried counterparts. Use 1 tsp of dried parsley and 1/4 tsp of dried tarragon. The tarragon can easily overpower the dish if used too much. You can always add but can’t take out so adjust to your liking.
Cream alternatives will no longer make this dish the amazing recipe that it is. Without cream, you’ll need to add flour as a thickening agent which will ruin the texture of the sauce.
