Chicken with Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients:

• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup fat free milk
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 medium onion, sliced and sparated into rings
• 1 Tbs butter
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In a cmall bowl, combine cornstarch and milk until smooth; set aside. Flatten chicken to 1/4 in thickness. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until juices run clear. (I am super picky about my chicken so I actually boil it first until it is cooked and then brown on each side). Remove and keep warm.

2. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender. Stir in the broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and serve.
