Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the outside is golden brown and the center is fully cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften and release their moisture.
  • Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and oregano to the mushrooms. Stir well and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the herbs are evenly distributed.
  • Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and return to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  • To serve, place a bed of buttered noodles on each plate, top with a chicken breast, and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for a delicious finishing touch.
