Equipment

  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 8 0unces Mushrooms
  • 1 Yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ C Heavy whipping cream
  • 4 T Butter
  • ½ C Gruyer shredded cheese
  • Himalayan salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle the cast iron skillet with olive oil and preheat it over medium heat. While the skillet is getting hot, cut the chicken breasts into one inch pieces. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet with another drizzle of olive oil and two tablespoons of butter. To get the best sear on the chicken, allow them to cook for about four minutes before flipping them to the other side.
  • While the chicken is sautéing, chop the onion and mushrooms. Add them to the skillet to cook with the chicken. If the butter has been absorbed, add the remaining two tablespoons. Allowing the chicken to sear on each side instead of continual stirring will create a delicious sear.
  • Once the chicken has cooked for about eight minutes, add the heavy whipping cream and any remaining butter. Simmer until the cream reduces and the chicken is fully cooked, approximately five minutes. Add ¼ cup of gruyer cheese to the skillet and allow it to melt into the sauce.
  • Serve over rice, steamed vegetables or noodles. Garnish with the remaining gruyer cheese.

Notes

How to season a cast-iron skillet

1. Preheat the oven to 400˚. Wash your skillet well with hot, soapy water and dry it.  Once the skillet is washed and dried, be sure to continue on with the next steps to prevent rust!
2. Spread a thin layer of oil or lard in the skillet, wiping out any excess.
3. Arrange your oven racks so there are 2 racks about equal distance apart.
4. Place a sheet of foil over the bottom rack.  The foil will keep the oven from becoming dirty as the oil drips during heating.
5. Place the skillet upside down on the top oven rack.
6. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the heat and let the skillet sit in the oven until cooled.
