Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, mixing everything together. Let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over it. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

Baking

  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Don't rush the searing to lock in the juices. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor significantly. Experiment with different cheeses for a personal twist.
