Ingredients:
For Creamy Mushroom Chicken:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoned and pan-seared
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or shiitake), sliced
1 cup heavy cream or cooking cream
1 tsp thyme
½ tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
For Herb-Roasted Baby Potatoes:
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Roast the Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
2. Cook the Chicken:
Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:
In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Pour in heavy cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
4. Combine:
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
5. Serve:
Plate the chicken with roasted potatoes, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Pro Tips:
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
Use a mix of mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for rich umami flavor.
