Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Dry sherry
• 1 cups Chicken broth
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet with the dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the skillet once cooked and keep warm.

Step 11

Stir the heavy cream and capers into the sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 12

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Serve the chicken breasts drizzled with the mushroom and caper sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
