Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan optional

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the pan.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To make this recipe even richer, you can add a bit of cream cheese to the sauce for extra creaminess.
  • Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
