Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of each breast.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the same skillet. Add 2 minced shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 8 oz sliced white mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned.
Step 5: Pour in 1/3 cup dry white wine, scraping the pan to loosen browned bits. Simmer for 3 minutes until wine reduces by half.
Step 6: Stir in 3/4 cup heavy cream and 1 tbsp lemon juice, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 7: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and cook for 2 more minutes to meld flavors. Serve hot with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned over.
