Creamy Mushroom Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 chicken breasts (about 1 ½ pounds), sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken:
    • In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan. Cook until each piece is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
  3. Create the Sauce:
    • Lower the heat to medium and stir in the cream cheese and Italian salad dressing. Continue stirring until the cream cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Combine and Serve:
    • Return the cooked chicken to the pan, stirring to coat it in the creamy mushroom sauce. Heat just until the chicken is warmed through.

Serve this decadent Creamy Mushroom Chicken hot, perfect for a comforting dinner option that pairs beautifully with your choice of sides, such as pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
