Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 piece Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lower the heat to medium. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to enhance the flavor.
Step 7
Season the mixture with black pepper and thyme, then bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 8
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over the top to coat.
Step 9
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and mushroom mixture.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 11
Serve the chicken hot, draped in the savory mushroom sauce, alongside your choice of vegetables or a light salad.
