Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 tablespoons butter

For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 3/4 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

For the Roasted Baby Potatoes

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Roast the Potatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper until they’re nicely coated.
Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once, until golden, crispy, and fork-tender.
Set aside and try not to snack on too many.

Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Sear the Chicken
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the butter melts and sizzles, add the chicken.
Cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Cook the Mushrooms
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms.
Let them cook undisturbed for a minute, then stir.
Sauté for 3–4 minutes until browned and slightly caramelized.
Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

Make the Sauce
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up all those flavorful bits from the pan.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens and turns luxuriously creamy.

Bring It All Together
Return the chicken to the skillet.
Spoon the sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes.
The chicken will soak up all that goodness.

Presentation

Serve the chicken with a generous drizzle of mushroom cream sauce.
Pile the roasted baby potatoes alongside for contrast and crunch.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and freshness.
If you’re feeling extra cozy, serve it in shallow bowls so the sauce pools beautifully.
