Instructions
1
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly brown the chicken breasts on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side, until they are nicely golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes until the onion softens, followed by the sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and the onions to become translucent.
3
Next, pour in the white wine and add a dash of Worcestershire sauce, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate all the flavorful bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
4
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and return the chicken to the skillet. Add the cream along with the salt, pepper, basil, and parsley, stirring gently to coat the chicken. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent the cream from curdling.
5
Cover the skillet and let the dish simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and ensuring that the chicken remains moist and tender. Serve warm and enjoy.
