Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 250 grams, sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Lower heat to medium-low and add the thinly sliced onions. Sprinkle with sugar and a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they are golden and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Increase the heat to medium and add the garlic and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth sauce. Add the heavy cream and thyme leaves, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts and caramelized onions to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or rice.
