Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 10 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they are tender and have released their juices.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the fresh thyme and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce and thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
