Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Chicken:

    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    For the Sauce:

    • 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

    For the Noodles:

    1. 12 ounces noodles, cooked and buttered
    2. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
    3. Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Add Garlic and Seasonings: Add garlic, thyme, and oregano, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce the liquid by half (about 5 minutes). Stir in heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and warm it through in the sauce. Serve the chicken over buttered noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • You can swap the chicken breasts for boneless skinless thighs for a juicier option.
  • Add more vegetables like spinach or peas for extra flavor and color.
  • The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
