Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear each side until golden brown (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are golden.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Let the wine reduce by half.
- Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and thyme. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over, and simmer for another 5–7 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Substitute white wine with chicken broth for an alcohol-free version.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
- Adjust seasoning to taste and customize with additional herbs like rosemary or sage.
