1 1/2 tsp garlic salt (divided, plus more to taste)
2 Tbsp butter (divided)
2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic)
1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
1/4 cup (15 g) chopped fresh parsley (or dried parsley if fresh unavailable)

1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
Optional herbs for variation: fresh thyme, sage, rosemary (about 1/4 cup total)

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients before cooking. Heat 1/2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add sliced mushrooms, season with 1/2 tsp garlic salt, and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
3. Season chicken with 1 tsp garlic salt and pepper. Add remaining butter and olive oil to the pan and cook chicken in a single layer for 2–5 minutes per side until cooked through.
4. Remove chicken and keep warm. Add minced garlic to the pan, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in dill, parsley, and green onion, cooking for another minute to soften.
6. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Bring to a gentle boil, cooking for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
