Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken breasts and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, crushed dried basil, and minced garlic to the skillet.
  4. Sauté the vegetables until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in chicken broth, dry white wine, salt, and pepper.
  6. Arrange chicken breasts in the skillet on top of the vegetable mixture.
  7. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the skillet.
  8. Simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and no longer pink inside.
  9. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm.
  10. Measure the remaining liquid in the skillet; add water if necessary to reach 1 cup total.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth.
  12. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the wine broth.
  13. Cook and stir constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly.
  14. Continue to cook and stir for 2 more minutes to remove the raw cornstarch taste.
  15. Spoon the hot wine sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
