Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Lightly coat the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 7

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to create a smooth sauce.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
