Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt one tablespoon of margarine.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of margarine to the skillet.
  6. Add sliced mushrooms, sliced onion, and minced garlic (or garlic powder) to the skillet.
  7. Sauté vegetables, stirring often, until the onion is tender and any released liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and pepper, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  9. Heat the sauce until it just begins to bubble.
  10. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top.
  11. Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to reheat and absorb the flavors.
  12. Serve the chicken and sauce hot over cooked noodles.
