This Chicken with a Mushroom Thyme Sauce Is To-Die-For! 

To prepare this recipe, you will need all-purpose flour, thyme, allspice, chicken breasts, butter, mushrooms, onions, whipping cream, and canned low-sodium chicken broth.

You can always change some things if needed. Try using whole-wheat flour, cornstarch, oregano, basil, cumin, chicken cutlets, turkey breasts, pork chops, olive oil, red onions, half and half, coconut milk, and vegetable stock.

When you are ready to start cooking, begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. In the meantime, you will want to mix the spices with the flour. Once your chicken is seasoned, you can pass it through the flour. This step is essential in allowing your chicken to then retain all the flavors and brown better.

Cook your chicken in the butter over medium heat. Be careful, as the roux that forms can get hot quickly. Set your chicken aside, and use the same pan with the butter to cook the vegetables. Your mushrooms should soften and brown too.

Finish off by adding the cream and broth, and then return the chicken to the pan. You can serve your chicken with a mushroom thyme sauce with egg noodles, rice, or potatoes.

If you are looking to make things easier, you can swap the whipping cream and broth with canned cream of mushroom soup. You may also want to reduce the salt you use since canned soup and broth have extra sodium.

You can make a big batch of this recipe using a larger pot or stockpot. Save it in the fridge for a couple of days. You can also save the sauce in the freezer and cook the chicken separately when ready to eat.
