Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Notes
-
For best browning, avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the mushrooms.
-
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded.
-
If using coconut cream as a substitute, choose full-fat for a thick, creamy texture.
-
Add a splash of white wine with the chicken broth for extra flavor depth.
-
Always let the sauce simmer gently—do not boil—to avoid breaking the cream.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a pop of color and added freshness.
