Steps:
- Heat the Skillet: Add the butter to a large skillet and melt over medium high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook on both sides, about 3 to 5 min per side or until no longer pink inside, time depends on thickness of your breasts. Since the breast is fairly thin, it should cook faster. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for a couple minutes until onion is translucent and soft. Add the mushrooms and stir. Season mushrooms generously with salt and pepper. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are cooked to your liking, add the wine and deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the skillet. All those brown bits are flavor!
- Finish the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir for another minute just to remove the raw flour taste. Next, add the cream, stir and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally or until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over the chicken.
- Finish and Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place chicken, skin-side up, in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Drain excess fat. To make the mushroom sauce, melt remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in half and half, thyme, basil and crushed red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Serve chicken immediately with mushroom sauce, garnished with parsley, if desired.
CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE
Recipe video above. The creamy mushroom sauce here is a cut above the usual basic recipes, thanks to the additions of wine, parmesan and chicken stock. It turns this quick chicken dinner into a meal that's both worthy and elegant enough to serve to company!It's an excellent sauce to serve with chicken breast, which is very lean and doesn't actually have very much flavour. Also, the lightly-floured crust on the chicken makes it nice and crispy, giving the sauce something to cling on to. So don't skip it!

Steps:
- Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
- Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
- Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
- Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
- Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
- Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
- Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
- Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
- Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your sauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to release their flavor and give them a slightly chewy texture.
- Use a good quality white wine. A dry white wine will help to brighten the flavor of the sauce. Avoid using a sweet wine, as this will make the sauce too heavy.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavor and thicken the sauce.
- Serve the chicken with a side of rice or pasta. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
This chicken with creamy mushroom sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
