Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and slice them in half horizontally if thick. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Add the remaining butter to the same skillet. Sauté sliced mushrooms until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, add heavy cream, and stir to combine. Let it simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Stir in Swiss cheese until melted and smooth.
7. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, cover, and simmer for 7–10 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
For extra tenderness, pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
Don’t rush the mushroom browning process—it builds deep flavor in the sauce.
Swiss cheese adds a subtle tang, but mozzarella or provolone are great alternatives.
