Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Skillet
A creamy, savory skillet dish with chicken and mushrooms, perfect for a quick yet indulgent dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese, bringing the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
