Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken and set aside. Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release liquid and brown slightly.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Return chicken to skillet, coating evenly, and heat for 1 minute until warmed through.
