Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 3 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Clean and slice the portabella mushroom caps into thin strips.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced portabella mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and browned.

Step 8

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Let it cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 9

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 11

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.

Step 13

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 14

Serve the chicken with portabella mushroom sauce over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a hearty and delicious meal.
