Ingredients
2 lbs chicken breast, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
8 oz cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F (90°C) for keeping chicken warm
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
Season chicken with salt and pepper; sear until golden brown (3-4 minutes per side)
Transfer to oven for 5 minutes while making the sauce
In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until golden (5-6 minutes)
Add garlic, then deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up browned bits
Simmer broth for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly
Pour in heavy cream, simmer 2 minutes until creamy
Return chicken to skillet, baste with sauce; serve immediately
Notes
Use chicken thighs for more richness and moisture
Substitute porcini or shiitake mushrooms for deeper flavor
Add thyme or rosemary for extra herbal notes
Leftovers freeze well for 3 months in airtight containers
