Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until they are browned and tender.
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the Swiss Mushroom Chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or rice.
