Method
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 even cutlets. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish, and lightly dredge the chicken, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the sliced mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to brown, then stir and cook 2 more minutes until caramelized.
- Add chopped shallot and cook for 1 minute. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release browned bits. Let simmer until reduced by half.
- Stir in the chicken broth and simmer for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, slowly stir in the heavy cream, and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats a spoon.
- Stir in the final 1 tablespoon of butter for gloss. Return the chicken to the skillet to warm through for 1 minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not rush the mushroom browning process; let them sit undisturbed initially to develop a deep, savory crust.
