Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside (they will finish cooking in the oven).
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring to combine and create a smooth sauce. Then, stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, about 3 minutes.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Transfer the skillet (if oven-safe) or pour the contents into a baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
