Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups white button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 cups vegetables (e.g., green beans, carrots), trimmed

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2 minutes, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

While the chicken cooks, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash them with milk, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 9

For the vegetables, steam or sauté them in a small skillet with a pinch of salt until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 10

Plate the chicken breasts with the mushroom sauce, a serving of mashed potatoes, and the sautéed vegetables. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
