Creamy Mushroom Chicken

A delightful dish combining tender chicken breast with rich, savory mushrooms in a luscious cream sauce, perfect for cozy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 8 ounces sliced Mushrooms (cremini or button recommended)
  • 3 cloves minced Garlic
  • 1 medium diced Onion (sweet or yellow)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken by seasoning with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Sauté diced onion in the skillet until translucent, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms and thyme, cooking until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and then add heavy cream, stirring until combined.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb flavors.

Notes

Feel free to vary the types of mushrooms or add lemon zest for a citrusy brightness.
