Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken fillets in the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Step 5
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Slice the button mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Step 7
Add the fresh thyme and pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the lemon juice to the mixture.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce.
Step 9
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through and let the flavors meld.
Step 11
Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and mushroom sauce.
