Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the oil until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme.
- Add the Parmesan cheese gradually and stir until melted into the sauce.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickened to your liking.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and thyme if desired.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, allow it to simmer for a longer time, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. You can serve it over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
