instructions
    1

    Begin by slicing the mushrooms and onion. Mince the garlic.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until softened (about 3-4 minutes).

    3

    Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown (about 5-7 minutes).

    4

    Push the mushrooms to the side of the skillet and add another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary.

    5

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet, browning each side for about 5 minutes.

    6

    Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 3 minutes until slightly reduced.

    7

    Add in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 75°C or 165°F).

    8

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

    9

    Stir in the chopped parsley into the mushroom mixture as a final touch and serve the chicken with the mushrooms spooned on top.
