Step 1
Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a mallet or heavy pan.
Step 2
Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Pan-fry chicken 3 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick and mince the shallot. Add to the same skillet with 1 tbsp butter and cook 4 minutes until golden.
Step 5
Pour in wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 6
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and thyme. Return chicken to the pan, turn to coat, then serve over lettuce.
