Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 8
Add in the chopped fresh thyme and mix well.
Step 9
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are covered with the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot, and enjoy your low carb smothered chicken.
