Ingredients

– 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Creating Mushroom Chicken is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sauté: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender and browned.
4. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and dried thyme. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
6. Add Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
7. Return Chicken: Reintroduce the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, allowing them to soak in the flavors for about 2 minutes.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
10. Serve: Your Mushroom Chicken is ready to be plated and enjoyed!
