Ingredients

For the Chicken & Sauce

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

For the Buttered Noodles

8 ounces noodles (egg noodles work best)

2 tablespoons butter

For Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Season the Chicken:
Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook the Mushrooms:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes, until browned and tender.

Add Aromatics:
Stir in garlic, thyme, and oregano. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Deglaze the Pan:
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Simmer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Make the Cream Sauce:
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Return Chicken:
Add chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over top. Simmer 2–3 minutes to heat through.

Prepare Noodles:
While sauce simmers, cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons butter.

Serve:
Plate buttered noodles and top with chicken and creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.

Notes

Pound chicken evenly to ensure even cooking.

Add spinach or peas for extra color and nutrition.

For lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.

This dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
