📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 medium chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make the dredge.: In a shallow plate, combine the flour with the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts through the flour mixture, making sure they're fully coated on both sides.
2. 2Sear the chicken.: Heat the olive oil, and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
3. 3Sauté the mushrooms.: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until the mushrooms turn golden brown.
4. 4Make the sauce.: Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the chicken broth to the skillet, followed by the heavy cream and stir well. Cook for a couple minute over low heat until sauce reduces a bit. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
5. 5Finish the dish.: Add the chicken back to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
