Mushroom Chicken
This Mushroom Chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts in a creamy garlic mushroom sauce, all made in one skillet in under 20 minutes.
Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 breasts chicken, sliced in half vertically
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoon butter divided
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- ½ cup chicken broth plus more for deglazing the pan
- ¼ cup half and half
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half to create 4 thinner breasts, then season them with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then pan-sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side; remove the chicken.
- Add the remaining oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, add the mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add 1-2 tablespoons of chicken broth and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, along with the garlic and thyme, and sauté for 1 minute. Whisk together the chicken broth, half and half, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the chicken broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back into the skillet, nestling it amongst the mushrooms. Simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly, 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh thyme, salt and pepper, and enjoy!
