Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced (such as cremini or button)
  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, thyme, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
