Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or a lighter substitute if desired
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender, then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Next, stir in the heavy cream until combined and let it simmer for another few minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top, and let everything cook together for another minute to meld the flavors.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately over rice or pasta to soak up that creamy goodness!

Notes

Store any extra Easy Chicken Lombardy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw if frozen, then warm in a skillet over medium heat until fully heated through. You can add a splash of chicken broth or cream to keep the sauce from getting too thick.
