Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts halved lengthwise (approximately 900g / 2 lb)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flour for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 12 ounces mushrooms sliced (approximately 340g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat in flour.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in the pan, add mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Cook until mushrooms release their water and develop a sear. Remove mushrooms.
  4. Add garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until mustard dissolves and reduce by half (3-4 minutes).
  5. Pour in cream, return chicken and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Notes:
  7. For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream. Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
