  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Low-sodium recommended for better control of saltiness.

Cooking Chicken

  • Once browned, remove chicken and set aside.

Making Sauce

  • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Stir in mushrooms and cook until soft and browned.
  • Pour in chicken broth, scraping the pan to deglaze.

Finishing Up
