Ingredients
- 6 chicken thigh or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons thyme finely chopped fresh
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- lemon juice about 2 tablespoons, juice of 1 medium lemon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
- ½ cup mushroom sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Whisk together Italian seasoning, chopped thyme, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Season chicken with half of the mixture. Cook chicken in a greased pan or skillet over medium heat 5-7 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add garlic and mushrooms to pan and stir over medium heat 2-3 minutes until fragrant and mushrooms are tender. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and remaining seasoning mixture. Stir in cream until mixture begins to boil, cook another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Return chicken to pan and toss in the sauce to coat. Garnish with lemon slices, fresh thyme, and cracked black pepper as desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- Heavy cream really makes this sauce rich and creamy. You can swap out some or all of the cream for fat free half and half, or whole milk if desired.
