Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until the mushrooms are brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add the fresh thyme. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly and thickening.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned over it.
