Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5–8 oz. each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz. white mushrooms sliced
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth and plus 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • Parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts to season them well.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet and sear until each side is golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  • Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the mushrooms until they're soft and the liquid has reduced, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until it's fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese in batches, stirring continuously until it melts completely and creates a smooth sauce.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer gently, reducing slightly until it becomes thick and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the chicken breasts and any collected juices back to the skillet. Simmer for another 2 minutes or until the chicken is warmed through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives (optional) and serve the dish hot.
  • Enjoy!
