Learn how to make delicious Creamy Parmesan Mushroom Chicken. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering your ingredients is the first step on this delicious journey. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini work well)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

If you’re out of heavy cream, feel free to substitute with half-and-half for a lighter version. And if fresh mushrooms aren’t on hand, canned ones can do the trick in a pinch, though fresh will always give the best flavor and texture.

Instructions

Now, let’s dive into creating this delightful dish:

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re browned, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Remember, cooking is an art, and just like my abuela used to say, trust your senses — the aroma, the sizzle, the taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, and make it yours!
