Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cups White button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.75 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 12 ounces Cooked pasta (e.g., fettuccine or angel hair)

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are browned and tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until reduced by half.

Step 7

Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 11

Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce.

Step 12

Serve the chicken and sauce over a bed of cooked pasta. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
