Begin by assembling all your ingredients: boneless chicken breasts, fresh mushrooms, long grain rice, chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper. Slice the mushrooms and dice the onion and garlic finely.
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for quick and even cooking.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary and toss in the sliced mushrooms and diced onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the mushroom mixture.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook until the rice is tender and absorbs most of the liquid, approximately 15 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, returning the chicken to the skillet as well. Mix everything thoroughly to coat in the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley for a burst of color.Nutrition Facts
