Cut 5 pieces of chicken breast in half to make them thinner.

Tenderize the chicken using a tenderizer or fork.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 stick of butter and extra virgin olive oil.

Coat the chicken in corn starch in a Ziploc bag and add to the pan.

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until not too brown.

Remove the chicken and keep warm in the microwave.

Add diced button mushrooms and 1 clove of minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant.

Pour in 1/2 to 1 cup of white wine or cooking cherry to deglaze the pan.

Add sliced mushrooms, black pepper, and salt to the pan and cook down.

Return the chicken to the pan to finish cooking thoroughly.

Prepare roasted potatoes by cutting white potatoes into bite-sized pieces and mixing with olive oil.

Roast the potatoes in the oven at 400°F for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
