Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender and browned.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Combining
  1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.
  2. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
