Description

This creamy, peppery chicken dish is the perfect balance of savory, rich flavors, with earthy mushrooms and a touch of heat from freshly ground black pepper. It’s quick enough for a weeknight dinner but special enough for a dinner party!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the pan. Add heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
  • Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add more black pepper or chili flakes.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the pan after sautéing the mushrooms for extra depth.
