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)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, incorporating all the flavorful brown bits.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
