Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle the olive oil. Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re beautifully golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, toss in the onions and mushrooms. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until the onions turn translucent and the mushrooms are tender. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine everything, and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to bathe in that delicious sauce and warm through. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce generously over the chicken, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half in place of heavy cream. If you're not a fan of mushrooms, try substituting them with spinach or artichokes. Store any leftover creamy chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
