# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 -
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (white or baby bella)
05 -
4 garlic cloves, minced
06 -
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
07 -
1 cup heavy cream
08 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
09 -
Salt, to taste
10 -
Black pepper, to taste
11 -
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 -
Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken from the pan and keep warm.
03 -
Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
04 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, ensuring it becomes fragrant but does not burn.
05 -
Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift any caramelized bits. Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to reach a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
06 -
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top, reduce heat to low, and let everything simmer together for 3 to 4 minutes for the flavors to meld.
07 -
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired and garnish as preferred. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Allow chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain their juiciness.
