Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the same skillet. Sauté onions for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until softened and browned.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in heavy cream and thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Return chicken to skillet and coat with sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
