Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

0.5 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

0.5 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Add butter to the same skillet, then sautée mushrooms until browned. Stir in minced garlic and cook 1 more minute.

4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up the brown bits. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.

5. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Let the sauce simmer until thickened.

6. Return chicken to skillet, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until cooked through.

7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For deeper flavor, try adding a splash of dry white wine after cooking the mushrooms.

Don’t skip searing the chicken—it seals in the juices and adds rich flavor to the dish.
