Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and let it get hot.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Sautéing the Mushrooms
  1. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
Making the Sauce
  1. Add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
Finishing the Dish
  1. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until completely cooked through.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or light cream. If you have picky eaters, serve the chicken plain alongside the sauce for dipping.
