Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
   • Dredge each chicken breast lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Mushroom Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tbsp of butter.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the Cream and Parmesan:

   • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, and let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. Combine and Serve:

   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them.
   • Let the chicken warm through for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the chicken with the rich garlic mushroom sauce over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
