Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Dredge the chicken breasts lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes, until they are golden and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and dry white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Lower the heat, cover, and cook on a gentle simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked rice or pasta, if desired.
