Description
A delectable creamy chicken and mushroom dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins (raw chicken tenders)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ large white onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken tenderloins (tenders) dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter and the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate, covering them with foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Add more butter and oil to the skillet if needed, and cook the vegetables for 4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook it for 1+ more minutes until it’s fragrant.
- Add fresh parsley, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Add the chicken broth and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy whipping cream and the sour cream and simmer until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and cook them for a few more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165 F. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing. Garnish with more fresh herbs and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish pairs well with rice or pasta.
- For a lighter version, reduce the amount of cream and sour cream.
