🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 cups cremini or white button mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Sear the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are tender and browned.

5. Stir the minced garlic into the mushrooms and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat them evenly.

7. Slowly add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

8. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

9. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over them. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld and warm the chicken thoroughly.

10. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
