Hey foodies! Ready to make a super easy and totally delicious dinner? Today we’re whipping up some Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce!
This is like one of those fancy restaurant dishes, but we’re doing it at home in less than 30 minutes. Get ready to impress your fam or just treat yourself. Let’s get cooking! 🔥🍳
📝 Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (any kind you like!)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
👩🍳 Directions:
- Prep the Chicken: Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Make sure they’re well-coated because flavor is everything!
Cook the Chicken: Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter. Once melted, toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re soft and brown. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Your kitchen is going to smell amazing right now!
Creamy Dreamy Time: Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Then, add the heavy cream and thyme. Stir it all together and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken up.
Cheese, Please: Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until it’s melted and smooth. YUM. If you want the sauce thicker, let it cook a few more minutes.
Bring It All Together: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of that creamy, dreamy mushroom sauce all over them. Let them cook together for about 2-3 minutes so they can soak up all that deliciousness.
Serve: Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top if you’re feeling fancy. Serve the chicken with your favorite side—like mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta—and dig in!
