How to Make Chicken Breasts In Brandy Cream Sauce

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) generously with black pepper.
In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place in an oven-safe dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
Leave the pepper and chicken juices in the skillet.
Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened and lightly browned, adding more oil if needed.
Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add 1/4 cup brandy.
Carefully ignite the brandy (using a long match or lighter). Allow the flames to die down, about 1 minute.
Add 1 cup heavy cream to the skillet and stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Remove the chicken from the oven, return it to the skillet, and heat for 2 minutes on medium-low heat, allowing the chicken to absorb the sauce.
Serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
