Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and rest on a plate.
Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add 1 small finely diced shallot and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced wild mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, oyster) and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, cook for 5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown.
Step 4: Pour in 1/4 cup dry white wine and let simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half, then add 1/2 cup chicken broth and cook for another 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Stir in 2 tbsp unsalted butter until melted and sauce coats the mushrooms. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 6: Return chicken breasts to the skillet for 1 minute to rewarm, spoon mushroom ragout over the top, garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
