Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Delight

About this recipe

This modern take on a classic creamy chicken and mushroom dish brings together tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a luscious creamy sauce. Perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner, it's seasoned with herbs and finished with a hint of Parmesan for a delightful, gourmet touch.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Sear the chicken until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook until mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

  6. 6

    Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth.

  7. 7

    Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over top, and simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme.

Chef's tip

For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk and add more herbs for additional flavor.
