Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 125g
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese 50g
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Pound Chicken Breasts:

    Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  2. Coat with Flour Mixture:

    Mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast in the mixture, then shake off excess.
  3. Cook Chicken in Olive Oil:

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic:

    To the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Deglaze with Chicken Broth:

    Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth and scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Add Heavy Cream:

    Add the heavy cream and let the sauce cook until it thickens slightly, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  7. Stir in Parmesan Cheese:

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
  8. Return Chicken to Skillet:

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  9. Garnish with Parsley:

    Take off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
