Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the unsalted butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring often to prevent burning.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
Serve hot with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to complement the creamy mushroom sauce.
