Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they are tender and have released their juices.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 6
Add the fresh thyme and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.
Step 7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
