Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms Recipe 🍄

Experience the culinary delight of our Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms dish, perfectly balancing succulent chicken with earthy mushrooms in a rich, velvety sauce. Let’s dive into the ingredients and steps to create this masterpiece:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 8 ounces of mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to elevate their flavor profile.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they cook evenly until achieving a golden brown hue on both sides. This typically takes about 6-8 minutes per side. Once cooked through, set the chicken aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté them until the mushrooms turn golden brown and any excess moisture evaporates, usually within 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, using a spatula to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Incorporate the heavy cream, dried thyme, and paprika into the skillet, stirring gently to blend the ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce achieves a slightly thickened consistency.
6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and seamlessly integrates into the sauce.
7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce.
8. Let the dish simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is thoroughly heated and the flavors meld harmoniously.
9. For an optional touch of freshness and color, garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
