Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Add the parsley to the sauce and stir to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 10

Arrange the seared chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mushroom cream sauce evenly over the chicken.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
