Ingredients
– 1 pound thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts
– 4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
– 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon pepper
– 1 red bell pepper, veins and seeds removed and sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, veins and seeds removed and sliced
– 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare Your IngredientsBegin by gathering and prepping all your ingredients to make the process smooth. Coat the 1 pound of thin-cut boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, then mix 1/2 teaspoon each of dried rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub this herb mixture all over the chicken to infuse it with flavor, setting the foundation for your mushroom pepper chicken.
2-Second Step: Sear the ChickenHeat 1 1/2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them for 4 minutes on each side. This step locks in the juices and gives the chicken that golden crust, making your mushroom pepper chicken extra appealing for family dinners.
3-Third Step: Remove and Keep WarmTake the chicken out of the skillet and place it on a plate, covering it to keep it warm. This allows the chicken to rest while you focus on the veggies, ensuring everything comes together perfectly in this mushroom pepper chicken recipe.
4-Fourth Step: Sauté the VegetablesAdd the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet. Toss in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 8 ounces of sliced white mushrooms, and the sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, then sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften, adding that fresh, colorful element to your mushroom pepper chicken.
5-Fifth Step: Deglaze and SimmerPour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. Return the chicken to the skillet and let everything simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, turning the chicken once. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees and the vegetables are tender, adapting as needed for dietary preferences like using low-sodium salt for health-conscious tweaks.
6-Final Step: Serve and EnjoyOnce done, remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. Plate your mushroom pepper chicken with sides like rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
