Creamy Mushroom Chicken is a rich and comforting skillet dish featuring tender seared chicken breasts simmered in a savory garlic, mushroom, and thyme cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients by mincing the garlic and slicing the mushrooms.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear on both sides for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until browned. Add the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking and stir until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Simmer for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the sauce.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce, though it will be less rich.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor variation.
