  Dust the chicken with flour.
• 
  Step 5
  Add 1 tablespoon of butter, and one tablespoon of grapeseed oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
• 
  Step 6
  Chef’s Note: The skillet needs to be big enough to hold all the chicken, and have a tight-fitting lid.
• 
  Step 7
  When the foaming subsides, add the chicken, and sauté until browned, about 2 – 3 minutes per side.
• 
  Step 8
  Remove the chicken, and reserve.
• 
  Step 9
  Add the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil, and butter to the pan, and turn the heat up to medium high.
• 
  Step 10
  When the foaming subsides, add the mushrooms, until they soften and begin to release their moisture, about 8 – 10 minutes.
• 
  Step 11
  Chef’s Note: While the mushrooms are sautéing, season with a bit of salt and pepper.
• 
  Step 12
  Chef’s Tip: If you are feeling adventurous, you could add to the spices… maybe a bit of smoked paprika, cayenne, cumin… you’re the chef, go for it. I personally, like adding a bit of minced garlic, and lemon juice.

• 
  Step 14
  Bring the liquid up to a simmer, and continue to cook until the liquid begins to thicken, about 3 – 5 minutes.

  Step 15
  Return the chicken to the pan, and spoon the mushroom sauce over the top.

  Reduce the heat to medium or medium-low, and lightly simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 – 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 17
  Chef’s Note: Watch the sauce and make sure it doesn’t burn.
