A comforting dish of chicken breasts cooked in a rich creamy mushroom sauce, served alongside buttery mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain, then mash with butter, milk, and salt until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until browned. Add garlic and thyme, cooking until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook briefly, then gradually add chicken broth and cream, stirring until thick and silky.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for a few minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.
  5. In another pan, sauté asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender yet crisp.
  6. Plate mashed potatoes, place chicken on top, and generously spoon over the creamy mushroom sauce. Serve with asparagus on the side.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use low-fat milk and reduce cream.
  • Swap mashed potatoes with cauliflower mash for a low-carb option.
  • This dish is naturally gluten free if flour is replaced with cornstarch.
