- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 cup chicken broth

Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
Step 3
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and golden brown.
Step 5
Add the dried thyme to the mushrooms and stir to combine.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce.
Step 9
Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve the chicken and mushrooms hot, and enjoy your low-carb meal!
