Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken thighs Can substitute with breasts
  • 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms Can use white button or mix in shiitake or oyster mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For browning chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For flavor
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Dry white wine Pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc is preferred
  • 1 cup Chicken broth To loosen the sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy cream For a smooth sauce
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Optional for added flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning To taste

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken and Mushrooms
  1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken thighs and brown on both sides until golden, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the cremini mushrooms and sauté until they are browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  6. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up the browned bits, and let it bubble for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing well.
  8. Add the chicken back to the skillet and simmer gently until it is fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and parmesan if desired.

Notes

Serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or with crusty bread. Add a simple green side for balance. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch if serving to guests.
