Season the chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet; set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic and mushrooms; cook until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer; cook until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream; bring the sauce back to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken.
Cover; let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, with a side of cooked pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.
