Print Recipe

A delightful symphony of tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and rich, velvety cream that warms your heart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Chicken Breasts (or thighs), boneless and skinless
  • 8 oz Cremini or button Mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Chop the garlic and mushrooms, and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of your chicken.
  3. Sear the chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  4. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic: In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté mushrooms for 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  5. Create the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, deglaze the skillet, and add the fresh thyme. Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet, simmer for an additional 3–4 minutes to warm it through.
  7. Taste and adjust: Check seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve: Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with thyme or parsley.

Notes

Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice with a side of sautéed greens or a crisp salad.
