Ingredients
Main Components
- Chicken thighs or chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- Mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake for the best results)
- Heavy cream (substitute with half-and-half for a lighter option)
- Chicken broth (essential for depth and deglazing the pan)
Seasonings and Aromatics
- Minced garlic
- Diced onion
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, or parsley)
Optional Flavor Enhancers
- A splash of white wine to deglaze the pan
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Baby spinach or zucchini for added vegetables
Instructions
- Achieving a Golden Sear: Patting the chicken dry helps it develop a crust.
- Thicker Sauce: Simmer longer or whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water).
- Creamy Yet Light: Swap half the heavy cream with plain Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
