  7. Deglaze the pan with red wine, scrape all the browned bits at the bottom of the pan.
  8. Add the chicken and all the juice on the plate back into the pan. Lower the heat to the low setting.
  9. Taste the sauce, add additional salt and pepper if needed ( I added ¼ teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper).
  10. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
  11. Remove the chicken and mushrooms to a plate, cover to keep warm.
  12. To make the sauce, take out the thyme stems, stir in heavy cream, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  13. Pour the sauce over the chicken and mushrooms and sprinkle chopped parley (optional) before serving.
