Instructions
Making Mushroom Chicken is straightforward, especially when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prep Ingredients: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and slice the mushrooms.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until melted.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the heated skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they’re tender and golden brown, about 4 minutes.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
7. Incorporate the Cream: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme, then cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
8. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well with the sauce. Cook for an extra minute or two to heat through.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for presentation.
10. Serve: Enjoy your Mushroom Chicken warm with your choice of sides.
