Here is a recipe to prepare chicken breast with mushroom sauce:
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 200 g of mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream (liquid cream)
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken breasts: Wash the chicken breasts and dry them with absorbent paper. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Cook the chicken breasts: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and let them rest on a plate covered with aluminum foil to keep warm.
3. Prepare the mushroom sauce: In the same pan, add the butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
4. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream: Pour the chicken broth into the pan and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Then, add the heavy cream and stir well. Cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Return the chicken breasts to the pan: Place the chicken breasts in the pan with the mushroom sauce and cook over medium-low heat for another 2-3 minutes, to infuse them with the flavor of the sauce.
6. Sprinkle with parsley (optional): If you wish, you can sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken breasts with mushroom sauce before serving.
7. Serve and enjoy: Place the chicken breasts on individual plates or a large plate and pour the mushroom sauce over the top. You can accompany this dish with rice, mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
Now you can enjoy your delicious chicken breast with mushroom sauce!
