Ingredients
Scale
- 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 (for thickening)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 2 slices Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pound to even thickness if needed.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add more butter if needed. Sauté onions and mushrooms for 6–8 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
- Sprinkle in flour or add cornstarch slurry, then slowly stir in chicken broth, scraping the pan to lift browned bits. Let simmer.
- Stir in heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Add cheese slices on top if desired, cover for 2 minutes to melt.
