Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 10 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the unsalted butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring often to prevent burning.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to complement the creamy mushroom sauce.
