Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces Cremini or white mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and their moisture has evaporated.
5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape and deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom cream sauce over them. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
