Ingredients

Units Scale

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  4. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried thyme, and let the sauce thicken for a few minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them.
  7. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the sauce. Serve this creamy and cheesy chicken with your favorite side dishes, such as pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables. To enhance the garlic flavor, you can sauté the minced garlic in butter before adding it to the sauce. Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. Enjoy!
