Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken in the all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the butter to the same skillet and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and browned slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the chicken.

Step 8

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with your choice of side dish, such as rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
