Ingredients
- 4 breasts boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add butter and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Stir in garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
