Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with black pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms release their juices and turn golden brown.
Step 4
Add the unsalted chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan.
Step 5
Stir in the thyme leaves and low sodium soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir well to thicken the sauce.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet; spoon the mushroom sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
