  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the carrots and mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in thyme, rosemary, and Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
