Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Prepare Chicken: Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking and tenderness throughout.

2. Season Chicken: Liberally sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The spices will infuse the chicken with robust flavor as it cooks.

3. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Allow it to melt slowly, ensuring it doesn’t burn.

4. Cook Chicken: Increase the heat to medium and add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through.

5. Add Onions and Mushrooms: After 10 minutes, carefully turn the chicken breasts over using tongs. Layer the thinly sliced onions and mushrooms on top of the chicken in the skillet.

6. Continue Cooking: Cover the skillet once again and allow the chicken, onions, and mushrooms to cook together for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.

7. Final Touches: After the cooking time is up, remove the lid and mix the onions and mushrooms into the buttery sauce. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes. This step ensures the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken perfectly.

8. Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, transfer the Paprika Chicken with Mushrooms to serving plates. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot alongside your favorite side dish.
