Creamy Mushroom Chicken 🍄🍗
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh thyme)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until golden and tender (about 5 minutes).
5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Add the thyme and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the pieces. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
7. Serve the mushroom chicken warm, garnished with fresh parsley or thyme, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
