Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce

(discovered on Siggy Spice's blog)

Ingredients:

Egg noodles (I used about 1/2 of a large bag)

2 tbsp flour, divided

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into 1" pieces

1 (8oz) package mushrooms, sliced

1/2 tsp dried tarragon, basil or parsley (I used parsley because that's what I had on hand)

1 tbsp minced garlic - fresh or from a jar (I used 2 cloves fresh garlic)

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup chicken broth

grated parmesan cheese - for topping 

Directions:

1. In a medium size bowl combine 1 tbsp flour, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper - stir to combine.  Toss in chicken to coat.

2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken and saute for a good 4 minutes or until browned.  Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

3. With the same pan from the chicken add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil.  Add mushrooms and spice of choice.  Saute for 2 minutes, then add garlic and saute for an additional minute or so until any liquid evaporates and the mushrooms darken.  Be sure NOT to burn the garlic.

4. Add wine to the pan; cook for 1 minute - scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. Add remaining flour - stir constantly.  Add in remaining salt and pepper and then chicken broth.  Cook for 1 minute or until slightly thickened - which happens fast so stir frequently.

6. Return chicken to pan.  Cover and simmer for 2 minutes.  Uncover; cook for 1 minute or until chicken is cooked thoroughly.  

7. Cook egg noodles according to package directions and add to hot chicken/mushroom mixture.  Cook all together for a couple minutes to thoroughly combine the yumminess of the sauce from the chicken/mushroom mixture.

8. Serve topped with cheese.
