Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Lightly dust them with the all-purpose flour and shake off any excess flour.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and tender.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and loosen any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and thyme to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the browned chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and mushrooms. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
