Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of side, such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
