  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture evaporates (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Gradually add heavy cream, stirring until combined (3-4 minutes).
  5. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
