This dish consists of seared chicken breasts paired with sautéed mushrooms in a luxurious cream sauce flavored with garlic, shallots, white wine, and fresh herbs. It’s a versatile recipe that works well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 4
  • Kosher salt – 1 teaspoon (or to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • All-purpose flour – ½ cup (for dredging)
  • Olive oil – 3 tablespoons
  • Unsalted butter – 2 tablespoons
  • Shallots – 2, finely chopped
  • Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
  • Mushrooms – 12 ounces (baby bella or white mushrooms), sliced
  • Dry white wine – ½ cup
  • Chicken stock – 1 cup
  • Heavy cream – ½ cup
  • Fresh thyme – 1 teaspoon, chopped
  • Fresh parsley – 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.

Sear the Chicken

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms

  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the skillet.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and softened.
  • Stir in the chopped shallots and minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Make the Sauce

  • Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken stock and heavy cream, then add the fresh thyme. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Cook the Chicken in the Sauce

  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
  • Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving.
  • Serve warm with your favorite sides such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
