Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and thyme. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and cook for another 5 minutes until fully cooked.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes like mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine with additional chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice.
Use cremini or button mushrooms for the best flavor.
