Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 250 grams Cremini Mushrooms
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken Broth
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Let the mixture simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
