Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up nicely.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the prepared skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Use the remaining drippings in the same skillet to add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely golden and fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream while stirring, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well in the creamy sauce. Allow it to simmer together for another minute.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Pairs well with buttery mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp green salad. Can add a splash of white wine for extra flavor.
