2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts |

1 cup chopped onion, divided |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 garlic cloves, minced, divided |
1 lb mushroom, chopped small |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (as needed) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |

1 cup unsalted chicken stock |
1/4 cup heavy cream |
