  • 1 cup Wild Mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, or cremini) sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Truffle Oil
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives snipped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Oven-Safe Baking Dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the wild mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are tender and browned.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. If desired, add the fresh thyme and smoked paprika.
  5. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large oven-safe skillet or a baking dish, place the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  6. Pour the mushroom and cream mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Drizzle the truffle oil over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the snipped chives over the top for garnish.
  9. Serve hot, accompanied by your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Notes

For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
