Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 250 grams White button mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the mushroom cream sauce over the chicken, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot alongside rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
