Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 250 grams white or cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning with half the salt and pepper.
Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the moisture has evaporated.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms, mix well, and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir until thickened. Lower the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Add the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and smooth.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
