A quick and delicious chicken dinner featuring tender breasts in a creamy garlic and mushroom sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Return the chicken to the pan, coating it with the creamy sauce. Cook for another minute to heat everything through.

Notes
For a lighter option, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Feel free to use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
