Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of side.
