Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 2
While fries bake, season the 2 chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and 8 oz sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to pan, coat with sauce, and serve with fries.
