Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 24 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil or butter if needed. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the milk and heavy cream, mixing well.
- Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Plate the chicken with a generous amount of the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Enjoy with rice or pasta, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
This creamy garlic mushroom chicken is not only easy to make but also incredibly flavorful. It's a fantastic way to bring a touch of gourmet dining into your home. Enjoy your meal and happy cooking!
