Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in heavy cream and dried thyme.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the sauce coats the chicken.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a richer sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Add a splash of white wine when sautéing mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or with mashed potatoes.
