Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until the mushrooms are brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add the fresh thyme. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, reducing slightly and thickening.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken hot, with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned over it.
