Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.

      Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant.

        Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they soften and release their juices. Stir in the dried thyme and Italian herbs.

          Make the Sauce: Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

            Combine Everything: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is warm and thoroughly coated in the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for garnish. Serve the creamy garlic mushroom chicken hot, along with your choice of side—like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
