Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape the bottom to deglaze it, bringing up the browned bits for added flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken with pasta, rice, or crusty bread!
