Garlic Butter Chicken and Mushroom Skillet

This creamy garlic mushroom chicken is a delightful and hearty dish that features tender chicken breasts sautéed with fresh mushrooms in a rich garlic butter sauce, enhanced with the aromatic flavor of thyme and topped with fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Start by prepping your chicken breasts. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
3. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle in the dried thyme. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the mushroom and garlic butter sauce. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
