Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)

- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and slicing mushrooms.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes each).
- Remove chicken from the skillet and add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until mushrooms soften.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes.

- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving hot alongside rice or pasta.
