Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken fillets in the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the button mushrooms and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Add the fresh thyme and pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the lemon juice to the mixture.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through and let the flavors meld.
Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and mushroom sauce.
