Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes more.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake for deeper flavor.
Substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Goes well with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
