Print Recipe

A simple recipe for tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in dried thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  10. Heat through for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or with steamed vegetables.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the cream.
