Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and combined with the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the mushroom and cream sauce over them. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

            Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

              Serve: Carefully transfer the chicken to a serving platter, drizzling any extra sauce from the skillet on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
