Directions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet. Brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the garlic and the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Add the champagne and using a wooden spoon, gently scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
