Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Thyme Cream Sauce
So I am fairly new to this blogging thing. It has been exciting and exhausting all at the same time. I think the hardest part is trying to convey who you are, your passions, and your personality in writing; all while engaging the readers. When you are not super confident in your writing skills it is even harder. Also add to the pile you are an introvert and …. yikes, double scary. But, I love cooking and creating new things in the kitchen. So, I press on.
The one part of the my life where I am confident and know what I’m doing is in the kitchen. It is a stress free zone and brings me joy and peace every time I set out to make something for my family. What area of your life are you in the most confident in? Where do you find the most joy? I also find joy in eating as well.. hehe. (maybe too much)
Last night I was in the mood for a well rounded meal served along side a nice Malbec Red Wine. Luckily, I have a sweetheart of a husband who was willing to go out and satisfy my red wine craving. All I had to do was take care of the “well rounded” meal part of the deal. Done and Done. I ended up making this Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Thyme Cream Sauce. I substituted Greek Yogurt for the typical heavy cream and added some fresh Thyme and Lemon juice. My husband loved it and went really well with the Malbec.
I hope you enjoy!
How to Make Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Thyme Cream Sauce
To start off, melt 1 T. of coconut oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup shallots and 1 minced garlic clove. Sweat the vegetables until shallots are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms.
Cook until slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add 2 T. of fresh thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
Let simmer for about 8-10 minutes.
In the meantime, season 4 boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill each side for approximately 5-6 minutes, making sure there is no pink and you get some nice grill marks.
Set chicken aside.
Back to the mushrooms: In a small bowl, mix 2 T. of flour with 2 T. of water, stir until flour dissolved.
Add flour mixture to mushroom broth, stir until completely combined. (This will help thicken the sauce.) Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt and juice of 1/2 lemon to mushroom sauce.
Stir until yogurt dissolves and completely combined. Let flavors soak in for 2-3 minutes.
Serve over grilled chicken breast and enjoy!
