Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds total, pounded to 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Napa Valley olive oil preferred
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more for seasoning
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese about 1 ounce, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Method
 

  1. Thoroughly dry the chicken with paper towels. Generously season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. If necessary, work in batches; add the chicken and sear until deeply browned on the bottom for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the chicken with tongs and sear the other side until browned for 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 minutes. Add the flour, stir to evenly coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the half-and-half or milk and broth until no flour lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the Parmesan. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken cooks through, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes
  1. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that sometimes I'm out of cremini, and regular button mushrooms work just as wonderfully here.
If I'm feeling a bit indulgent, I'll swap
