Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
Cream Sauce
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
Garnish
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Cooking
  1. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C, then transfer the chicken out of the skillet.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until tender and browned.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and scrape the browned bits from the pan bottom to blend them into the sauce.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Serving
  1. Finish the creamy garlic chicken with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep the cream sauce at a gentle simmer to help prevent separation.
