Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they're tender and golden.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Dijon mustard, stirring to combine.
  8. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  10. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Allow everything to heat through for a couple of minutes.
  11. Plate the chicken, generously drenching it in the sauce, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Don’t worry if the sauce looks a bit lumpy—it's part of the homemade charm! Feel free to add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
