Ingredients

Chicken

4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Mushrooms

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

Wine Sauce

1 cup dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter for finishing

Method

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Make the Mushroom Wine Sauce

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they are browned and tender.
Add minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
Let the sauce reduce for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the butter until melted and smooth.

Combine and Serve

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
