Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

        Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce cook for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow it to simmer gently for another 5 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.

            Serve: Serve the creamy mushroom chicken over a bed of fluffy cooked rice. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
