Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 250 grams white mushrooms
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes on low heat to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
