A cozy and comforting dish featuring tender chicken and earthy mushrooms in a luscious creamy sauce, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts (or thighs)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Flour (Gluten-free flour or cornstarch optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (or additional olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms (Cremini, White, or Shiitake)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (or Vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (or vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (or whole grain mustard)
  • 1 cup Heavy/Whipping Cream (or half-and-half or coconut cream)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they’re golden and tender. Toss in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning in the last minute of cooking.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any delicious brown bits left in the skillet. Stir in the lemon juice and Dijon mustard, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  5. Lower the heat and mix in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Add the chicken back to the skillet, coating it in that luscious sauce, and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
