Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 8 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer and reduce by half.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  8. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  10. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and coat it well.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, let the cream simmer slightly longer before adding the cheese.
  • If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with an equal amount of good quality chicken broth.
  • Ensure your mushrooms are sliced evenly for consistent cooking.
