Instructions:
- Season the chicken breast with the white pepper and salt on both sides.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet.
- Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. Cover it with foil to keep it warm.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken breast to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom cream sauce over the top.
- Allow the chicken to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives over the chicken and sauce.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the chicken breast to a plate, pouring the mushroom cream sauce over the top.
- Garnish with additional chives if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts with salt and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a mixture of different mushroom varieties for a more complex taste.
- Make sure the chicken broth and heavy cream are at room temperature to ensure a smooth sauce.
- Cook the chicken breasts on medium heat to prevent them from drying out.
- Garnish the dish with fresh chives just before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
