Directions
Instructions:
-
Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts.
-
In a large shallow dish combine 1/4 cup flour with 1 tsp garlic powder & salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast through the flour to coat, then shake off excess and place to one side.
-
Heat up 1 tbsp oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry both sides for a few mins, or until golden on the outside and just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place chicken to one side.
-
Melt in 1 tbsp butter and add the mushrooms. Fry until they form a golden crust, then reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and fry for another 1-2mins. Pour in stock and cream, then add chives and parsley. Simmer for 5mins or so, until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
-
Stir in parmesan, then add a very gentle squeeze of lemon juice and salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for another minute or so to thicken a little more if you need to.
-
Add chicken back in and baste in the sauce. Serve up and enjoy!
Notes:
Creamy Garlic Mushroom Chicken FAQs
Do I have to dredge the chicken in flour?
Strictly speaking no, you could just coat the chicken with the seasoning. In which case you’ll want to halve the amount of seasoning.
How garlicky is this recipe?
This recipe only has 2 cloves of garlic, however the chicken is also seasoned in garlic powder and the sauce has chives in it too. So all in all, I think it’s enough to keep the garlic fiends among us happy without it being completely overbearing!
Can I use different mushrooms?
You can, just make sure they’re thinly sliced and on the smaller side (i.e. not portobello or large flat mushrooms).
