How to Make Chicken In Cream Sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1 cup of broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pour the cream sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional) before serving.
