Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large shallot, minced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly dredge each piece in the flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced shallot and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for about 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Stir in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter, tenting it loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to low and stir the heavy cream into the skillet. Add the fresh thyme leaves and simmer the sauce for 5 more minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Pour the mushroom and white wine reduction over the chicken breasts. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
