Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of side, such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
