Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Step 5
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Step 7
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, and stir to combine.
Step 8
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 9
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme, and return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 10
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to reheat and the flavors to meld.
Step 11
Serve the creamy chicken and mushrooms hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and thyme if desired.
