Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Bake

Directions

1. Prep the Oven

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Chicken

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the Veggies

   • In the same skillet, add onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

   • Stir in garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce

   • Stir in thyme, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and let cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Assemble the Bake

   • Return chicken to the skillet and combine well. Transfer mixture to a baking dish.

   • Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.

6. Bake

   • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.

7. Serve

   • Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
