Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season them with half of the salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the mushrooms and onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and slightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, thyme, the remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for another minute.

Step 10

Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
