Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.

5. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the mushrooms. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring.

6. Add the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

7. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 5 minutes to let flavors combine.

8. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For added depth, use a mix of mushroom varieties like shiitake and cremini.

If your sauce gets too thick, thin it out with a splash of extra broth.
