4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness
salt and pepper
2 T. olive oil
1 T. unsalted butter
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1 c. chicken broth
1 c. heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t. dried thyme
1/2 t. dried oregano
12 oz. egg noodles, cooked and buttered
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook until they begin to brown and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, thyme, and oregano; cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, reducing the liquid by half, about 5 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream; bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet; heat until the sauce is warmed.
Serve the chicken over hot buttered noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
