Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Step 1

Heat the Skillet: Add the butter to a large skillet and melt over medium high heat.

Step 2

Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook on both sides, about 3 to 5 min per side or until no longer pink inside, time depends on thickness of your breasts. Since the breast is fairly thin, it should cook faster. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Step 3

Cook the Mushrooms: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for a couple minutes until onion is translucent and soft. Add the mushrooms and stir. Season mushrooms generously with salt and pepper. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are cooked to your liking, add the wine and deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the skillet. All those brown bits are flavor!

Step 4

Finish the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir for another minute just to remove the raw flour taste. Next, add the cream, stir and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally or until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over the chicken.

Step 5

Finish and Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
