Easy Chicken with Mushroom Sauce

Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until they are golden brown. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the heavy cream and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
5. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing it to soak up some sauce.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice,  pasta, or steamed vegetables.
