Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for sauce)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss halved baby potatoes in 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add chicken breasts and sear for 6–7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until mushrooms are softened.
  7. Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place on serving plates.
  10. Spoon creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken.
  11. Serve with roasted baby potatoes on the side and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms.
  • For a lighter sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
