Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces White mushrooms
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 slices Muenster cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and browned.
Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour the heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce and mushrooms over the top of each piece.
Lay one slice of Muenster cheese over each chicken breast. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
