- 250g mushrooms (cremini or button, sliced)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth (240ml)
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional for richness)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. 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.
