Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium piece yellow onion, finely diced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 3

Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well to combine into a smooth sauce.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 10

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh thyme (optional) before serving and enjoy the chicken warm with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
