Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onions and garlic to the mushrooms in the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Pour in the chicken stock, stirring to deglaze the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Let the mixture simmer for 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for 2 more minutes to warm through and let the flavors combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
