A creamy and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich sauce with mushrooms and onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds total)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, and paprika.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • Add spinach or kale to the sauce for extra nutrition and color.
