Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 250 grams, sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture, stir well to coat and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine and avoid lumps.
Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them.
Cover and let everything cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
