Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (or chicken broth)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until they are browned and tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Pour in the dry white wine (or chicken broth) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom cream sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
