Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast (around 2 large) boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 large shallot finely minced
  • 2 clove garlic crushed
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup white wine dry
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves, fresh
  • parsely for garnish
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Season liberally on both sides with salt and pepper
  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high until shimmering, add chicken breasts and fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. You want to develop a good maillard, so press the breasts down
  • Remove the breasts from the pan, leaving the juices and set aside
  • Add more oil and the mushrooms, season with salt and sautee until darkened and softened- another 3-4 minutes
  • As the mushroom are approaching done add the shallots and thyme and continue to sautee another 1-2 minute.
  • Add the white wine and scrape the bottom, allow to come to a simmer, then add butter
  • Once butter is melted, whisk in the flour until fully combined
  • Add the broth and cream and bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, return the chicken to the pan and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is desired consistency
