Season chicken tenderloins generously with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge each piece in flour.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add ½ tbsp of the butter.
As soon as the butter melts add the chicken pieces to the skillet, and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken pieces are cooked through and is golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a dish and cover with foil to keep warm.
Add remaining oil and butter to the skillet. Then add in the garlic, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring regularly, until mushrooms begin to become tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half.
Return the chicken to skillet, and spoon the sauce over the tenderloins. Sprinkle in parsley, and cook for another minute or two until the chicken is hot.
Transfer the chicken to serving plates and spoon sauce and mushrooms over top.
