1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

3. Add mushrooms to the same pan and sauté until browned, about 5–6 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer.
