Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, carefully add the seasoned chicken breasts.
- Cook them for around 7–8 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning.
- Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the creamy sauce.
- Let it simmer together for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and prepare to serve.
Notes
