Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Mushroom Chicken
  1. Begin by slicing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Pat each side dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of flour.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets, searing them for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of unsalted butter. Melt and toss in 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of dry white wine, using a spoon to scrape browned bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup of low-sodium chicken stock and 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the skillet. Stir gently and bring to a simmer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Plate the Creamy Mushroom Chicken warm and garnish with fresh herbs.
