Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Let simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of side.
