Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and have released most of their moisture.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted into the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy mushroom sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken hot, draped in the creamy mushroom sauce, alongside a side of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables.
