Ingredients
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
1 2/3 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Slice the onion thinly and clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions until soft and lightly caramelized.
- Add mushrooms and cook until tender and juices have released.
- Pour in half-and-half or cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine.
- Return chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Finish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Add garlic for extra flavor depth.
A splash of white wine before the cream brightens the sauce.
Use heavy cream for richness, or milk with cornstarch for a lighter option.
Serve with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
