Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them get a nice sear. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Mince the garlic cloves. If you don't have a garlic press, finely chop them using a knife. Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice the larger mushrooms in half or quarters. If they are small, leave them whole. Chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The skillet is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil.

Be careful not to burn the garlic, as this can make it taste bitter. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and have released their moisture. The mushrooms should be nicely browned and softened.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir well to combine everything. If you don’t have heavy cream, you can substitute with half and half, or even milk, but the sauce will be less rich. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
Add the seared chicken back to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and mushrooms. Let everything simmer together for another minute to warm the chicken through.
Serve the garlic butter mushroom chicken immediately. It is delicious over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
