Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 300g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
