Instructions
Creating Mushroom Chicken is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and onions are translucent.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine all ingredients.
7. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to cook for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
8. Add Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
