Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1-1/4 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Preparation

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. CutÌýthe topsÌýoffÌý of each garlic bulb to expose cloves. Place the bulbs cut side up on a large piece of foil. Drizzle bulbs with the oil, then wrap a piece ofÌýfoil around the bulbs tightly. Place in a baking dish and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until garlic is tender. Cool slightly. Squeeze soft cloves out of the skins, finely chop, thenÌýset aside.
  3. While the garlic is baking, place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap; gently pound with flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick. In a shallow pan, mix together the flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour for the sauce. Coat the chicken with remaining flour mixture.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink in center (165°F with a thermometer), turning once. Place chicken on a plate and cover to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, heat the remainingÌýbutter. Cook mushrooms over medium heat until lightly browned. Sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour over the mushrooms. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, milk and roasted garlic.ÌýBring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  6. Add chicken to theÌýskillet with sauce and heatÌýfor 1 to 2 minutes.Ìý
