🛒 Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
👩🍳 Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the coating:
In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour until fully coated.
2️⃣ Crisp the chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
4️⃣ Add the cream:
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce—creamy perfection!
5️⃣ Finish it off:
Return chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley.
✨ Serving Suggestion:
Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered pasta, or crusty bread to soak up that luscious sauce!
