Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 ounces White or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid has evaporated.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the broth to simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Whisk in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and thyme leaves. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 10
Serve the chicken breasts warm, topped with the tangy mushroom sauce. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side of vegetables for a complete meal.
