Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 680g)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225g) fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the seasoned chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms and minced garlic until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer and stir in heavy cream; let thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Cover and let simmer for another 10 minutes until heated through.
- Serve hot over rice or pasta, drizzling extra sauce on top if desired.
