• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 200 grams Button mushrooms, sliced

• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once seared, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced button mushrooms and continue to sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Carefully pour in the Drambuie liqueur, allowing it to simmer for 1-2 minutes to deglaze the pan and cook off the alcohol.

Step 9

Stir in the chicken stock and fresh thyme leaves, then return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot, accompanied by your choice of roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
