Directions

Prep 5 minCook 20 min

1
Pat the chicken dry. Season both sides with half of the thyme and black pepper (add a pinch of salt if using).
2
Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes per side (internal temperature 165°). Transfer to a plate and tent loosely.
4
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet.
5
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 5 minutes. Season with the remaining thyme and black pepper (and salt, if using).
6
Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it among the mushrooms, and warm for 1–2 minutes. Spoon mushrooms over the chicken to serve.
