Skillet Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Savor the rich, comforting flavors of tender chicken sautéed in a creamy mushroom sauce, perfectly seared in a hot skillet. This dish balances hearty protein with a velvety, savory sauce, making it a satisfying meal for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
1/4 medium Yellow Onion, Chopped
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Low-Fat Half and Half
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (Low Sodium)
1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion softens.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer for a minute to deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.
Stir in the low-fat half and half and fresh thyme, and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the creamy mushroom sauce over it. Allow everything to heat together for a minute.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
