Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• season chicken all over with garlic salt and black pepper.

• melt remaining butter in the same skillet; cook and stir mushrooms, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in hot butter until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. pour cider into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. cook until cider reduces, 3 to 5 minutes.
