Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and softened.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook on low heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
