Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts Boneless and skinless preferred
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with half-and-half or coconut cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the onion and garlic are ready, push them to the side and add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender and browned.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to help the flavors meld beautifully.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, pasta, or even mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

If using coconut cream as a substitute, be mindful of the coconut flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. Reheat gently over medium-low heat, adding chicken broth if needed to maintain creaminess.
