Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine it with the mushrooms and garlic. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
- Heat everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is warmed through.
- Before serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Notes
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat. Consider adding lemon juice or herbs while simmering for extra flavor.
