Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 12 ounces noodles, cooked and buttered
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown and release their juices, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add garlic, thyme, and oregano, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce the liquid by half, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer again. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Return the chicken to the skillet and warm through in the sauce.

  8. 8

    Serve the chicken over buttered noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
