Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 250 grams White mushrooms
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 150 grams Cooked ham
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Dice the ham into small cubes and stir it into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken stock, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they’re coated with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to warm through.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished dish. Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
