Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, add butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and are browned.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your choice of vegetables for a complete meal.
