Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Mushroom Chicken

Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to encourage a good sear. Slice the mushrooms into even pieces.
In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and browned.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour, stir for another minute, then gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
