Instructions

How to Make Savory Creamy Garlic Chicken and Mushrooms

  • Gather your fresh garlic, clean and slice the mushrooms, and have the chicken ready to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until it's shimmering. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 7 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once the chicken is browned, sprinkle in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté them together for about 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the mushrooms are tender.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, simmering while scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up those flavorful bits. Cook until the broth reduces by half, then gradually stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, cover it, and let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Top the dish with freshly chopped parsley for color and taste. Serve warm.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a side of rice or pasta for a complete meal experience. For reheating, do so gently on low heat to preserve the creamy texture.
