In a large  pan, heat 3 tablespoons butter and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat. In two batches, cook chicken & 2 garlic cloves, browning both sides, for a total of 8-10 minutes. Transfer chicken to an over-proof casserole dish.

Add remaining butter and olive oil to saute pan and add mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and capers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously so they don’t burn. Add wine to the vegetables and let mixture reduce by half, 3-4 minutes. Then add in heavy cream, sour cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper.Bring mixture to a boil and cook until thickened, 6-8 minutes.

Pour mushroom sauce over chicken, shave cheese over top, and bake for 15 minutes, or until chicken is heated through. Add more cheese after if you wish.
