Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and add the chicken strips. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add butter and let it melt. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are browned and the onion is soft.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika into the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

Step 7

If you prefer a thicker sauce, sprinkle in xanthan gum while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, either on its own or over a low-carb side like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
