Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 heaping cup chopped mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tbsp butter

For the Sauce

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ tbsp flour
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Season the chicken with garlic powder and paprika.
  • Melt the butter in a pan on medium heat. Add the chicken into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes per side. Cut the chicken into strips and set aside.
  • Add a little more butter to the pan and add the minced garlic, moving around the pan to cook.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until tender.
  • Lower the heat and pour the sauce into the pan allowing it to thicken. Once it thickens, add the chicken to the pan. Add salt to taste. Serve with potatoes and vegetables or over pasta!

Notes

  • This recipe is not specifically a baby recipe, but a family recipe that I like to accommodate for my baby. Once I add the chicken back to the pan, I remove my baby’s portion and add salt and more parmesan to the rest for everyone else.
  • I usually served this with a side of vegetables and potatoes or with pasta. When serving with pasta, toss the noodles in the sauce to fully coat.
  • I like to use thinly sliced chicken breast in this recipe since it cooks more quickly, but any type of chicken breast may be used.
