Ingredients
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 24 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft and have released their moisture.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the creamy mushroom sauce. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
This creamy garlic mushroom chicken is not only delicious but also a great way to impress your guests. Serve it with a side of rice or pasta to soak up the rich sauce, and enjoy a fantastic meal together. Happy cooking!
