Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2-3 medium breasts)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano (or Italian seasoning)
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup onion, minced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups heavy cream (or light cream, or half & half)
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh herbs of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Prep the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Season both sides with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken: Heat butter and olive oil in a large heavy-duty pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Sauté mushrooms and onions: In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and minced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add minced garlic and season with salt and pepper; sauté for another minute or until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs (if using). Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
Finish cooking the chicken: Return the chicken to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Enjoy the creamy chicken and sauce with your choice of pasta, rice, salad, or vegetables.
