Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Brandy Sauce – Luxurious & Delicious!

Ingredients Checklist (Tap as You Prep)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup brandy (or substitute with 2 tbsp brandy extract)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Heat the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
2. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the brandy (or extract) and cook until the liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the heavy cream and mustard. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Season the sauce with thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over each breast. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
