Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Slowly stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with pasta, rice, or a side of your choice.
