Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Tender chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms button or cremini
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, bringing the sauce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve with your favorite side.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream.
- For an extra creamy texture, stir in a bit more cheese.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it reduce longer on low heat.
