Exquisite Creamy Mushroom Chicken Breast

Indulge in the exquisite flavors of this Creamy Mushroom Chicken Breast dish that combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy sauce infused with savory mushrooms and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
1 finely chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
8 ounces of sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they turn a golden brown color on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become softened and fragrant, usually taking about 2-3 minutes.
Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and fresh thyme into the skillet, cooking until the mushrooms develop a golden hue, roughly 5 minutes.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze it, ensuring to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the creamy mushroom sauce. Cover and allow them to cook over low heat until fully cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.
Finish off the dish by stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and blends into the sauce beautifully. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
