Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the dried thyme.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter, then add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and the remaining thyme, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring constantly until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon sauce over them. Allow everything to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavor.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
