• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 200g (7 oz) mushrooms (button or mixed), sliced
• 100 ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine

🍳 Instructions:

1. Sear the Chicken:
   • Season chicken supremes with salt and pepper.
   • Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Sear the chicken, skin-side down first, for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
   • Remove and set aside (they’ll finish cooking in the sauce).
2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
   • In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter.
   • Add chopped shallots and garlic, cook 1–2 mins until fragrant.
   • Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and softened (about 5–7 mins).
3. Deglaze and Simmer:
   • Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half (2–3 mins).
   • Lower heat, stir in the cream and the cubed Val-Dieu cheese.
   • Stir gently until cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
4. Finish the Chicken:
   • Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and let simmer on low heat for 10–15 mins, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).
5. Serve:
   • Plate with sauce and mushrooms spooned generously over the top.
   • Garnish with fresh thyme or chopped parsley.
