- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Mince garlic, chop onion, and slice mushrooms.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook seasoned chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Add onion and garlic to the same skillet; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
- Create sauce base: Stir in chicken broth while scraping up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Add creaminess: Lower heat, stir in heavy cream and thyme until combined. Return chicken to the skillet to soak up flavors.
- Final touches: Simmer for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
