Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Chopped onion
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add mushrooms and onion to the same skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve the smothered chicken and gravy mixture over warm cooked rice.
Notes
- For extra flavor, dredge the chicken lightly in flour before browning.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
- Taste the gravy before serving and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Use fresh herbs if you have them available for a brighter flavor.
