Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups sliced button or cremini mushrooms
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep: Gather all ingredients, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Cook chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
Sauté aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add mushrooms: Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Make the sauce: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed and serve over rice or pasta.
Notes
For deeper flavor, sauté mushrooms until golden.
Consider using chicken thighs for a juicier option or adding spinach for extra nutrition.
