Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 300 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the fresh thyme leaves. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, laying them in the creamy mushroom sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to coat it well.
Allow the chicken to heat through for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring it's warm and well-coated in the sauce.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables.
