Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze any browned bits. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is well combined.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Chicken Mushrooms Dijon hot over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread on the side.
