Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 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, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom and broccoli mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
