How to Make Mushroom Cream Sauce

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the garlic (optional, if you prefer a less garlicky sauce).
Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Reduce heat to low.
Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened. Do not boil.
Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately over your favorite baked, sautéed, or grilled chicken.
