Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 300 g fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and set it aside, then add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
  4. Add minced garlic to the pan and let it sizzle for about a minute.
  5. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and allow the sauce to bubble softly for a few minutes until thickened.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it, simmering for another minute or two to warm everything through.

Notes

For the best texture, opt for fresh mushrooms instead of canned varieties. Pat the chicken dry thoroughly to achieve a proper sear. Adjust salt and pepper gradually—taste as you go, especially if your broth is salty. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or Greek yogurt. Incorporate fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor at the end. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for later.
