Creating the Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Skillet is as easy as following these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until they are tender and browned.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
7. Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy cream and dried thyme. Stir well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. Combine with Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the creamy sauce.
9. Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and remove from heat before serving.
