Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, 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 olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with pasta, rice, or a side of your choice.
