Garlic Butter Chicken with Mushrooms
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for a creamier sauce)
1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions or parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Season and sear the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook the mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned and tender.
Make the garlic butter sauce: Add the minced garlic and thyme to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. (Optional: Stir in heavy cream for a creamier sauce.)
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the top, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Serve: Plate the chicken, top with mushrooms and sauce, and garnish with green onions or parsley.
