Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized cubes or thin strips. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika.
Sauté the Aromatics and Chicken
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and golden. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.
Add Mushrooms and Garlic
Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid.
Create the Creamy Sauce
Pour the cooking cream into the skillet and stir everything to combine. Sprinkle in the dried thyme. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 5 more minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.
Final Touches and Serving
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving. This dish is excellent served hot with rice, potato purée, or pasta.
