Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 4

Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Once the butter melts, add sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until browned and tender.

Step 6

Stir in garlic and cook another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 8

Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low. Add yoghurt, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and thyme.

Step 10

Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.

Step 11

Taste and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Return the chicken to the skillet.

Step 13

Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes so the flavors meld and the chicken warms through.

Step 14

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 15

Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
