Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium. Stir in 1/4 cup full-fat cream cheese and 1/4 cup chicken broth, cooking until cream cheese melts and sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  5. Step 5: Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cook for 2 more minutes to heat through.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
