CAJUN CHICKEN

Ingredients
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
10 ounces cremini mushrooms
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk or 2% milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley or thyme
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and dried thyme. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mix.
Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over both sides of the chicken breast. Drizzle them with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub it in. Let the rubbed chicken breasts rest while you clean and slice the mushrooms.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Plate the chicken and cover it to keep it warm.
