Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp flour or 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 slices Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and 165°F internally. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until tender.
- Stir in flour (or cornstarch slurry) and cook briefly.
- Add chicken broth gradually, stirring until thickened.
- Stir in heavy cream and simmer until smooth.
- Return chicken to skillet and simmer 5–7 minutes.
- Top with cheese if desired and melt before serving.
Notes
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning for better browning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing.
- Simmer gently after adding cream to prevent curdling.
- If sauce thickens too much, thin with a splash of warm broth.
