Season and sear the chicken in a hot skillet with butter and oil until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic:
In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms until they release their juices and start to brown. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
3. Make the Sauce:
Pour in chicken broth and scrape up the flavorful bits at the bottom of the pan. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, then simmer until thickened.
4. Return Chicken to the Pan:
Add the chicken back into the sauce, spoon it over the top, and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
5. Finish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme. Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or even cauliflower mash for a low-carb option.
Tips for Success
Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken—it helps achieve that golden crust.
Deglaze the pan well with broth or white wine for extra flavor.
Use fresh Parmesan for the creamiest, most flavorful sauce.
Want more veggies? Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or peas to the sauce for color and nutrition.
