Prep & Cook Info

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)

  • 1 tsp dried parsley

  • ½ tsp dried rosemary (optional)

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley or thyme

Why This Dish Works

  • Juicy chicken: Sautéed to golden perfection, then finished in the sauce.

  • Mushroom & herb sauce: Velvety, earthy, and full of flavor.

  • Cream and Parmesan: Richness without heaviness, perfectly coats the chicken.

  • Simple, elegant ingredients: Minimal prep, maximum flavor.

Directions

1. Season & Sear Chicken

Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil or butter. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté Mushrooms & Garlic

In the same skillet, add mushrooms. Sauté 5 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Make the Cream Sauce

Add heavy cream, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, and rosemary. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

4. Finish Chicken

Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer 10–15 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken occasionally, until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).

5. Add Parmesan & Serve

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
