Ingredients

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme.

  3. 3

    Sear chicken breasts in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until onion is translucent.

  5. 5

    Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and their moisture has evaporated.

  6. 6

    Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.

  8. 8

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side.

Chef's tip

Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C) internally. Adjust cream or broth to your desired sauce consistency.
