This quick and easy one-pot meal is sure to go into heavy rotation. With minimal ingredients and just 30 minutes of cook time, it’s perfect for those hectic weeknights.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 225 ml heavy whipping cream
- 125 ml finely grated parmesan cheese
- 175 ml fresh, diced tomatoes
- fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
- To the same pan, add the butter, garlic, and mushrooms, reduce the heat to medium-low, and saute until the garlic is fragrant and the mushrooms have released their liquid.
- Add the heavy cream, parmesan and diced tomatoes to the pan. Mix in and let simmer to thicken about 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and cook until it is heated through and fully cooked. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Plate and top with fresh basil.
Notes
Tip! This is a full meal all on its own, but it is also really good served with shirataki noodles, zucchini noodles, or even cauliflower rice.
