Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts Opt for organic, free-range chicken if possible.
- 1 cup White Wine Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
- 1 cup Heavy Cream Look for fresh, high-quality cream.
- 2 cups Mushrooms, Sliced Button mushrooms or cremini work perfectly.
- 4 cloves Garlic, Minced Fresh garlic is recommended.
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Extra virgin olive oil adds a nice flavor.
- to taste Salt and Pepper Don’t skimp on seasoning!
- to garnish Fresh Parsley Adds color and fresh flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, covering them to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, toss in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.
- Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release flavorful bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and mix well. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating each breast in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate for 3 days. Not recommended for freezing. For make-ahead, the sauce can be prepared a day in advance. Always taste the sauce before serving; adjust seasonings as needed.
