Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cups cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Season chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon butter and the remaining olive oil.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until aromatic and onions are translucent.

Step 5

Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and golden brown. Add the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to deglaze the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

To serve, spoon cooked white rice onto plates or bowls and top with a chicken breast and mushroom sauce. Enjoy!
