Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Lightly coat the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to create a smooth sauce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
