Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Add butter to the same skillet, then sauté mushrooms until golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and thyme; cook for another minute.
- Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- Substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier texture.
- Use vegetable or chicken stock instead of wine for a non-alcoholic version.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
