Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in chicken broth and thyme.
Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
Remove chicken, stir in heavy cream, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes until thickened.
Serve chicken topped with the mushroom wine sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Use a good-quality dry white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
For a dairy-free option, replace heavy cream with coconut milk.
Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
