1️⃣ Prep the Ingredients: Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, clean and slice the mushrooms, and finely chop the garlic and parsley.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re tender and lightly browned.

4️⃣ Add Garlic: Add the garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

5️⃣ Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the water, stirring to deglaze the skillet and infuse the sauce with rich flavor.

6️⃣ Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat, then add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

7️⃣ Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat it in the creamy sauce. Continue cooking until the chicken is heated through.

8️⃣ Season and Garnish: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

9️⃣ Serve: Enjoy this creamy chicken and mushroom dish hot, served over rice, pasta, or with your favorite side.
