  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown on both sides, about 6–7 minutes per side.

  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in heavy cream until well combined.
  5. Fold sliced mushrooms into the creamy sauce and simmer until tender (5–7 minutes).
  6. Finish by garnishing with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
