Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot/Corn Starch/Tapioca Flour
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Large Yellow Onion thinly sliced
  • 10 Ounces White or Brown Mushrooms thinly sliced
  • ½ Cup White Wine
  • 3 Cloves Garlic mashed
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Teaspoons Fresh Thyme chopped
  • ½ Cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Cup Gruyere shredded
  • Chopped Parsley for garnish
  • 1 ½ Cups Cooked Jasmine Rice optional

Instructions

  • To make this dish, start by preheating your oven to 375F. Set a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
  • While the pan heats up, pat your chicken dry and toss it with the salt, pepper, paprika, and arrowroot/corn starch/tapioca flour.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and let it cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes so the chicken browns. Then gently flip the pieces and repeat on the other side.
  • When the chicken is browned, add the sliced onion, mushrooms, and white wine, mixing together and scraping up bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Next, add the garlic, dijon mustard, and thyme. Continue to cook until the mushrooms cook down and the onions soften and brown. This will take 6-7 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, return the chicken back to the pan, and mix everything together well.
  • Take the skillet off the heat and spread the Gruyere on top and bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Finish with a brief boil (about 1 minute) so the cheese browns a bit.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
