  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are browned and liquid has evaporated.
  6. Stir in thyme and rosemary for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth mixed with apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  8. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  9. Gradually whisk in remaining chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer until sauce thickens.
  10. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  11. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  12. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are pounded evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties for deeper flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to taste; Parmesan adds saltiness.
  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.
