How to Make Chicken Breasts With Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  1. Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a serving platter. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 2 finely chopped shallots, and 2 cloves minced garlic in the remaining chicken drippings for about 3 minutes, or until tender.
  6. Add 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  8. Add the broth mixture and 1 bay leaf to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  9. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove the bay leaf. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  11. Serve the creamy mushroom sauce over the chicken breasts. Serve alongside your favorite cooked pasta (such as fettuccine or tagliatelle).
  12. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
