This quick and fancy chicken dish with mushrooms is great for a dinner party where you want to impress your guests.

Ingredients: 4 chicken breasts, thinly sliced. 2 cups mushrooms, sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 1/2 cup chicken broth. 1/4 cup white wine. 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Put olive oil in a big skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. For about one minute, until the garlic smells good, add the minced garlic. Before you add the chicken breasts, make sure both sides are browned. This should take about 4 minutes per side. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside. Put the sliced mushrooms in the same pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until they dry out and turn golden brown. Use white wine to clean out the pan and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom. Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in the pan. Put the chicken back in the pan and cook it slowly for 5 to 7 minutes, until it's fully cooked. Add pepper and salt to taste. Add chopped parsley as a garnish before serving.
