Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams white button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt. Then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and have released most of their moisture.
Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly add the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and add fresh thyme leaves. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes to absorb flavors.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken with creamy mushroom sauce over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice for a complete meal.
