**Married**
*Ingredients:*
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, diced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
*Instructions:*
1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the garlic and onions, cooking until fragrant and softened.
4. Sprinkle in the dried thyme and rosemary, stirring to incorporate the herbs with the mushrooms and onions.
5. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor. Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through and fully coated in the delicious sauce.
8. To serve, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a vibrant pop of color and freshness.
Enjoy this delightful “Married” dish with a side of fluffy mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles. The creamy mushroom sauce complements the tender chicken perfectly, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.
