Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1 pound total
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced Cremini or button mushrooms
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth Can substitute with vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme Can substitute with rosemary or oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sauté them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they are nicely browned and tender.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce generously over the top. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken thoroughly.
  8. Garnish your dish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine after sautéing the garlic and let it reduce before adding broth. This dish can be served over rice, mashed potatoes, or paired with sautéed green beans.
