Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth (alcohol-free)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese


Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Season both sides of the pounded chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in the heavy cream, and let the sauce simmer for 3 minutes.
Stir in the parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce, and heat for another 2 minutes before serving.


Notes

Pounding the chicken to an even thickness is crucial for uniform cooking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to adjust the consistency. Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
