  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
  4. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite sides.
