This homemade Mushroom Chicken Copycat recipe delivers tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich, creamy mushroom and garlic sauce. Perfect for quick family meals, healthy comfort food, and high protein dinners that come together in under 35 minutes.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter. Sauté mushrooms until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
