Chef Johns Chicken and Mushrooms
A savory and comforting dish with tender chicken and a creamy mushroom sauce!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 lb mushrooms sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup dry white wine optional, replace with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they are golden and softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the wine or chicken broth and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and thyme, stirring to combine. Simmer the sauce for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or pasta.
