Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • to taste pepper

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the olive oil and butter in the skillet until golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
  • In the same pan, sauté the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic until the mushrooms soften.
  • Add the chicken broth to the pan and let it reduce slightly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
