- 2 tbsp olive oil or ghee
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1 onion
- 12-15 cremini mushrooms or 12oz any mushrooms you have on hand
- 1 cup chicken stock or wine
- 5 cloves garlic diced
- 2-5 sprigs fresh thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
In a heavy skillet, heat ghee or olive oil on medium until shimmery.
Add chicken to skillet and brown (we're just getting a nice sear here- not cook the chicken through).
Remove chicken, set aside on a plate with a paper towel.
Add onion to pan, cook until slightly browned.
Add mushrooms to pan and continue cooking until they are slightly browned.
Add garlic, thyme, stir to incorporate.
Add chicken stock and add chicken back to pan.
Cook, uncovered, until sauce has thickened and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees.
Remove from stove and let the chicken rest and carryover cook to 180 degrees, about 5 minutes.
Plate and serve!
