Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce, stirring constantly until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add in the chopped fresh thyme and mix well.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are covered with the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot, and enjoy your low carb smothered chicken.
