Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the fresh thyme leaves to the sauce and return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Festive Chicken Supreme hot, paired with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete festive meal.
