Baked Chicken with Mushrooms and Wine (Low-Calorie)
Boneless chicken breast baked in a light white wine and mushroom sauce, finished with a touch of cream and thyme. Sautéed mushrooms, shallot and garlic build the savoury base, while low-fat milk replaces heavy cream to keep the sauce silky without the usual richness. Served plain, with steamed greens or rice alongside.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the chicken breast dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Sear
Heat the olive oil in a small oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden, then remove to a plate.
3
Sauté
Add the mushroom and shallot to the skillet and sauté over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms turn golden brown. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Deglaze
Pour the white wine into the skillet, scraping up browned bits, and simmer over medium heat 2 minutes until the wine reduces by about half. Stir in the chicken stock and fresh thyme leaves.
5
Bake
Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 18 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
6
Plate
Remove from the oven, stir the light cream into the sauce, and spoon over the chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and a thyme sprig.
