Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as is or over a bed of cauliflower rice or zoodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.
