Step 3: Build the Creamy Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and cook until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until fragrant and golden.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift any flavorful bits.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, simmering until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow them to simmer together for 5 minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Plate a generous scoop of buttery mashed potatoes.
- Place a golden chicken breast on top or beside the mash.
- Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over everything.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.

Final Thoughts
When my husband finished his plate, he looked at me and said: “Don’t ever change this recipe.” That moment alone made the effort in the kitchen completely worth it. If you’re looking for a meal that combines comfort, flavor, and a touch of elegance, this dish is sure to win over anyone at your table.
Cook it once, and you may find it becomes a new household classic—the kind that earns a five-star review every single time.
Would you like me to also create a variation list (like swapping chicken for shrimp or serving with pasta instead of potatoes) so you can keep the recipe exciting without “changing it” too much?
