Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4 ounces each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces White mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Chicken broth, reduced-sodium
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Pour in the chicken broth and dry white wine. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
Stir in the thyme leaves and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste and adjust the seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley (optional) for garnish, and serve the chicken and mushrooms hot.
