Ingredients
- 2 pieces Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the butter to the same skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5–6 minutes until they are softened and lightly browned.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook the sauce for about 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2–3 minutes to reheat and absorb flavors.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
