Chef's Tips
• For extra flavor, sear the chicken in a mix of olive oil and truffle oil
• Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices
• Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded
• Add a splash of white wine when sautéing mushrooms for depth
Variations
Lighter Version: Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and add 1 tsp cornstarch to thicken.
Keto-Friendly: Use full-fat ingredients and serve over cauliflower mash.
Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with portobello mushroom caps.
Extra Decadent: Stir in 2 oz cream cheese with the Parmesan.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in skillet with splash of cream to maintain sauce consistency. Freezing not recommended due to cream sauce.
