Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the rosemary sprigs and chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is rich and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the rosemary sprigs from the skillet and discard.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the chicken with the mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or your choice of side.
