Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme, and return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to reheat and the flavors to meld.
Serve the creamy chicken and mushrooms hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and thyme if desired.
