Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 4 pieces Swiss cheese, slices
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and softened.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over them.

Step 11

Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.

Step 12

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
