    Preparation Steps

    1

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    2

    In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, celery, and mushrooms until softened.

    3

    Add the white wine and let it reduce for a few minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken broth, add the thyme and bay leaves.

    4

    Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

    5

    Once the chicken is tender, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and become creamy.

    6

    Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve with cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or fresh bread.
