Ingredients

Chicken breast × 2
200 g Mushrooms
200 ml Cream
2 cloves Garlic
2 tsp Fresh thyme
4 g Salt
2 g Black pepper
1 tbsp Olive oil

Method

Sear the chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season the chicken and sear it for about 5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through — 74°C in the thickest part on a food thermometer — then set aside on a plate.
Brown the mushrooms

Sauté the sliced mushrooms in the same pan over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes until deeply browned. Add the sliced garlic and cook 30 seconds more until fragrant.
Finish the sauce

Pour in the cream with the thyme and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Return the chicken with its resting juices, turn to coat, and season with salt and pepper.
