4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

★Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In the same skillet, melt the butter.
Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the onions and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the Cream Sauce:
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, simmering for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Everything:
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.
- Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with pasta, rice, or bread.
