Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 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, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom and broccoli mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
