Creamy Mushroom Chicken Breast Recipe: Easy 40-Minute Meal

1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Let it cook for a minute to incorporate the flour.
6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until the sauce begins to thicken.
7. Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, coating them thoroughly with the sauce. Simmer over low heat until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
8. Stir in the butter until melted to give the sauce a silky, professional finish.
9. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley. It pairs perfectly with white rice or sautéed vegetables.
