Chicken and Mushroom Stew

 Ingredients:

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
– 1 large onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
– Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
– Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
– Brown the chicken breasts on both sides until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. **Cook the Vegetables:**
– In the same skillet, add the butter.
– Sauté the onions and garlic until they become translucent.
– Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.

3. **Make the Sauce:**
– Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat.
– Slowly pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
– Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. **Combine and Simmer:**
– Return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
– Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
– Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

5. **Serve:**
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
– Serve the chicken and mushroom stew hot, over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
