Description
A comforting dish featuring tender pheasant breasts enveloped in a creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for family gatherings or cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pheasant breasts (or substitute with chicken thighs)
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or shiitake)

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
