# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ For Sautéing and Sauce

05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 2 tablespoons butter
07 - 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
08 - 4 garlic cloves, minced
09 - 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
10 - 1 cup heavy cream
11 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Garnish

13 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover loosely.
03 - Add butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and deeply browned.
04 - Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic, avoiding burning.
05 - Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any fond from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to concentrate flavors.
06 - Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
07 - Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning mushrooms and sauce over the top. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until chicken is heated through.
08 - Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
