Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Use medium-thick chicken breasts for even cooking.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter sauce, can substitute with whole milk.
  • 1 cup chicken broth For a bolder flavor, can add a splash of white wine.
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms Cremini or baby bella mushrooms recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and mix well. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.
  6. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. For a smoother sauce, use a blender or immersion blender. Can be paired with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
