Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are softened and golden brown.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and meld the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
