Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 250 grams white mushrooms
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Step 5
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Step 7
Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken, and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes on low heat to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
Step 9
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
