Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge the seasoned chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 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 1 tablespoon of butter and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
