Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for extra juiciness
2 cups sliced mushrooms cremini or button mushrooms work best
1 cup heavy cream for the sauce
2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

Large skillet For searing the chicken and making the sauce

Method

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Add butter to the same skillet and sauté the mushrooms for 5 minutes until soft and browned.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it cook for 5 more minutes until heated through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Try adding a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor.
Use coconut milk instead of cream for a dairy-free version.
Pair with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
