Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients by slicing mushrooms and mincing garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  3. Remove chicken from skillet. In the same pan, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add soy sauce, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the pan. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer with the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For added nutrition and color, consider mixing in spinach or broccoli towards the end of cooking.
  • This dish can be easily adapted; substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk for a lighter option.
  • Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers; they reheat well for quick meals throughout the week.
