Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender.
- Add the minced garlic and thyme to the mushrooms and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Serve with rice or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
