Creamy Mushroom Chicken is the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication to impress your family tonight!

1

Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add in the 1 pound of chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until it's golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

2

In the same skillet, add the 8 ounces of mushrooms and cook them until they're softened and browned, which should take around 5 to 6 minutes. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.

4

Next, reduce the heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes.

5

Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Finally, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve warm.

• Serve over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
• Add a handful of spinach or kale to the sauce for extra color and nutrients.
• Top with crunchy almond slivers for a delightful contrast in texture.

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
• Use a mix of mushrooms for a more complex flavor, like shiitake, cremini, and button mushrooms.
• Add a splash of white wine to the skillet after the garlic for a lovely depth of flavor.
