Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced button mushrooms work wonders
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup chicken broth or wine if you're feeling fancy
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the chicken in and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, letting them soften and become fragrant. Toss in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
  3. Lower the heat and return the chicken to the skillet. Add the chicken broth and stir together. Pour in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing until the sauce is silky and smooth.
  4. Allow the dish to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  5. Before serving, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for flavor and presentation.

Notes

If you have a splash of white wine, feel free to add it instead of chicken broth for sophisticated flavor. Not a fan of Dijon? You can use whole grain or spicy brown mustard instead. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
