5. In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt. Add the mushrooms, then sauté for a few minutes until soft.
6. Add the shallots, then sauté for a few more minutes until a bit caramelized.
7. Add the wine, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Stir everything until well incorporated.
8. Add cream, chicken broth, mustard, and thyme. Stir everything until well combined. Let the mixture boil.
9. Stir in the slurry and simmer for a few minutes until the texture becomes thick.
10. Bring the chicken breasts back into the skillet, then toss to coat. Simmer for 2 more minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
