Creamy Chicken with Mushroom Delight Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are softened and browned.
- Make the Creamy Sauce:
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Combine:
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.
