Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup of sliced cremini or white mushrooms

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of heavy cream

1/2 cup of chicken broth

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and tender. Add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 4-5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

          Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Combine and Heat Through: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over each piece. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken before serving. This dish pairs beautifully with rice, pasta, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy your creamy, flavorful meal!
