Ingredients
For the Chicken and Mushrooms:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Creamy Herb Sauce:
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh thyme sprigs
- Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
Pat chicken breasts dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside. - Sauté the Mushrooms:
In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, sauté mushrooms for 5–6 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant. - Make the Creamy Herb Sauce:
Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using) and let it reduce slightly. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir and let simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. - Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for another 2–3 minutes to infuse flavors. - Serve:
Transfer chicken and mushrooms to plates, drizzle with extra sauce, garnish with fresh thyme or Parmesan, and serve immediately.
Serving Tips
Serve this dish alongside creamy mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or a crusty loaf of bread to soak up the sauce. For a lighter option, substitute cream with Greek yogurt or milk. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
