Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms Cremini or button
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes halved
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, then toss them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  2. While the potatoes roast, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and dried rosemary. Add chicken to the hot pan and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are browned and garlic is fragrant, stirring frequently.
  4. Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine with mushrooms and garlic. Let simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken and warm together for a minute or two.
  6. Serve the creamy mushroom chicken alongside the rosemary potatoes. Garnish with extra fresh rosemary if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth.
  • Use chicken thighs as a juicier alternative, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure mushrooms are dry before cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent sogginess.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a festive twist.
  • Swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes or butternut squash for a sweeter side.
