Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced (e.g., button or cremini)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

      Create the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, lower the heat and add in the heavy cream, thyme, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them in the creamy mushroom sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring they are well-coated and heated through.

          Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
