Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
Mushroom Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 ounces mushrooms such as crimini, shiitake, etc., thinly sliced 1/8” thick
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup dry white wine

- ½ teaspoon lemon juice freshly-squeezed
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese plus optionally more for serving

Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts in half length-wise to ½ inch thickness. Pat dry and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the cutlets. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in an uncrowded layer, undisturbed for about 4-6 minutes on each side until golden.* Set chicken aside on a plate.
- Make the Mushroom Sauce: Increase heat to medium high. Add butter and olive oil, cooking until butter is melted. Add mushrooms and cook until moisture is mostly gone and mushrooms are browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook until golden. Set mushrooms & garlic aside on a separate plate.
- Add wine to the hot skillet, cooking to let steam off until 2/3 evaporated. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parmesan. Cook for 1-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in mushrooms. Cook and stir occasionally for another 3-6 minutes until sauce is tannish brown, bubbling, thickened.**
- Add chicken, spooning sauce on top. Garnish with thyme and parmesan to taste. Enjoy!

Notes
- *Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- **Once you turn the heat off, the sauce should be a creamy and thick liquid. Sauce will thicken just a bit after cooking.
