Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 7
Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as is or over a bed of cauliflower rice or zoodles for a complete keto-friendly meal.
