Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp thyme
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in the thyme and simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through. Serve the creamy mushroom chicken over a bed of mashed potatoes and enjoy!
