Description
A delicious and creamy chicken dish featuring garlic and mushrooms, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, dried parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Add spinach or kale to the sauce for extra nutrients and color.
