Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and are golden brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure they are coated with the sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
