Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and have released most of their moisture.
Step 5
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it has melted into the sauce.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the creamy mushroom sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, draped in the creamy mushroom sauce, alongside a side of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables.
