Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 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 on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, incorporating all the flavorful brown bits.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook the sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
