Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the portabella mushrooms (caps facing down) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until tender. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.

Step 4

4. Lower the heat to medium-low and melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

5. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

6. Add the heavy cream and thyme, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

8. Return the chicken breasts and portabella mushrooms to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

9. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or alongside roasted vegetables.
