Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 lb mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the mushroom mixture over the top. Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes to reheat the chicken.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For an extra creamy version, add a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream at the end of cooking. Pair with steamed vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
